Islamabad: Pakistan's National Assembly on wednesday unanimously passed a resolution condemning President Donald Trump's "hostile and threatening" statements against the country and opposing his move to provide more space to India in Afghanistan in the new Afghan and South Asia policy.
The resolution passed by the lower house of Parliament also rejected the recent statement by Gen John Nicholson - the top US commander in Afghanistan - about alleged presence of Afghan Taliban leaders in Pakistan.
"The National Assembly of Pakistan rejects the unacceptable targeting of Pakistan by President Trump in his statement on Afghanistan and South Asia," read the resolution.
"NA also rejects claims of General Nicholson, North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) commander in Afghanistan, regarding existence of Taliban shuras in Quetta and Peshawar."
Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif read the resolution in the House, denouncing the US policy to give a formal role to India in Afghanistan.
"The House condemns attempts by the US administration to provide more space to India in Afghanistan and considers it a move highly detrimental to regional stability and complete failure to understand existing ground realities and emerging challenges in the region," it said.
