The National Assembly has passed a resolution vowing to try May 9 rioters, who were involved in attacks on military and state installations, under the existing laws including the Army Act and the Anti-Terrorism Act.
The resolution, which was moved by Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, has been adopted by the House after a major of lawmakers voted in favour of it.
Reading out loud the resolution, Asif said that “heartless and heart-wrenching incidents took place on May 9” and the day should be “reckoned as a Black Day”.
