This House may be adjourned to discuss an issue of grave national importance, namely: the situation arising out of the convergence of the so-called Azadi and Inqilab Marches in Islamabad for the last three days culminating thus for in a civil disobedience call made by a political party, seriously endangering civilian democratic structures and raising to an alarming level the spectre of an armed clash between the people and security forces in the heart of federal capital that houses the seat of Government, the Parliament, the Judiciary and foreign missions.

| 1 | The Senate of Pakistan condemns in the strongest terms the continuing genocide of the people of Gaza more particularly the children and women. It is recalled that Israel the aggressor continues to attack homes, schools, mosques, hospitals and target women and children in blatant violation of the Geneva Convention and international laws. It is noted that these acts of Israel continue unabated and are a deliberate defiance of obligations that international law imposes on state and falls within the category of crime against humanity and state terrorism. It is regretted that Western Capital, U.N and world leaders have failed to have this genocide stopped. It is disturbing that Muslim countries and the OIC are unmoved.It calls upon the Government to pursue an aggressive diplomatic offensive to have these mass murders stopped and have the inhuman blockade of Gaza lifted immediately | Private | Adopted |
