ISLAMABAD - Condemning the breach of sovereignty of Pakistan by the US a marathon session of in-camera briefing to joint sitting of the Parliament adopted a unanimous resolution recommending establishment of an independent commission to hold inquiry into the Abbottabad debacle and fix responsibility of intelligence and security failures.
Although no details on the composition of the commission were announced but it was said that Prime Minister would consult the Leader of the Opposition and other major stakeholders in the Parliament on constitution of the independent commission to probe the incident.
Condemning the US clandestine operation in Abbottabad the resolution further recommended to revisit countrys relations with United States and also to restructure countrys security apparatus to avoid such a fiasco in future.
The resolution also recommended revisiting of the countrys role in war on terror and gave a number of recommendations to revamp it in the larger interest of the country.
The resolution also expressed complete solidarity with the Armed Forces of the country and it was pledged that the national security and territorial integrity of the country would be upheld at all costs and Abbottabad-like incursion from any state would not be tolerated. It was further said that in case America would not stop drone attacks then at first place the NATO supplies from Pakistan would be stopped forthwith.
Resolution further demanded immediate halt to the drone attacks and in this connection made it clear that no latitude would be given.
The resolution also adopted the main points of the joint resolution adopted by the joint sitting of the Parliament on Oct 24, 2008 and suggested that a complete overhaul of the countrys current policy on war on terror would be made in due course of time.
Parliament had put its weight behind the Armed Forces of the country and in a marathon session, which stretched well over 10 hours and also entered in next date some 145 MPs had put questions to the military leadership.
Talking to media persons after the briefing Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Ch Nisar Ali Khan said that it was the consensus view of the MPs that a unanimous and positive response to the whole world should go from the Parliament on the issue to bring the nation out of shock.
