AAP demands special parliament session to declare Pakistan a 'terrorist nation'
May 13, 2025 4:18 pm
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday demanded that the Centre convene a special session of Parliament to pass a resolution declaring Pakistan a terrorist nation.
AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said, "Call a special Parliament session, and we will unanimously pass a resolution declaring Pakistan a terrorist nation. They provide shelter to terrorists and host their bases. The whole country has seen their military officials attending funerals of terrorists — how can we trust such a nation?" Singh criticised the BJP government for agreeing to a ceasefire, claiming it was done under pressure from US President Donald Trump.
"Our army was responding strongly, but then we announced a ceasefire. Trump said he mediated talks and even threatened trade cuts—how can we accept that? Where are the terrorists who killed our people on April 22?" he asked.

Posters have appeared in different parts of Jammu and Kashmir's Shopian district announcing a reward of Rs 20 lakh for information about three terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack that left 26 people dead, officials said on Tuesday.
The posters, pasted at several places in the south Kashmir district, have photographs of the three terrorists who are believed to have carried out the April 22 attack in Baisaran meadows in the tourist resort in south Kashmir.
The posters sought any information about the involved terrorists and offered a reward of over Rs 20 lakh for such an information, they said.
Written in Urdu, the posters sought the help of the people in tracing the terrorists, saying "those who killed the innocents do not have a place in our country".
On April 23, police announced a bounty of Rs 20 lakh for information leading to the neutralisation of terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack.
Security agencies had released the sketches of three men suspected to be involved in the terror attack.
The men, all Pakistanis, are Asif Fauji, Suleman Shah and Abu Talha, officials said. They had code names Moosa, Yunus and Asif and were involved in terror-related incidents in Poonch.

May 13, 2025 12:24 pm
The IAF had successfully deployed the S-400 missile defence systems to foil Pakistan's attempts to target Indian military installations on the night of May 7-8 and again May 8-9.
Pakistani strikes had followed Indian military's May 7 Operation Sindoor which hit nine terror training camps in Pakistan and PoK killing over 100 terrorists.
The S-400 system India used is considered one of the most lethal surface to air missile systems in the world.
It is one of the most advanced long range defence systems and its radars track targets at a distance of 600 km.
India had hit terror infrastructures including Let and JeM training camps at Muridke and Bahawalpur triggering a backlash from Pakistan.
PM in his televised address to the nation yesterday said "Pakistan instead of supporting India's fight against terror attacked India. Pakistani Army officers attended funerals of dreaded terrorists in a massive proof of state sponsored terrorism."
