Lahore: Punjab Assembly on Friday unanimously approved a resolution condemning the attacks on polio teams in Khyber Pakhtunkhua and Sindh, two provinces of Pakistan.
The resolution tabled by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) legislator Ijaz Ahmed Khan condemned the brutal killings of the anti-polio campaigners across the two provinces.
At least nine anti-polio campaigners were shot dead and six others severely injured after unidentified miscreants attacked the teams in Khyber Pakhtunkhua and Sindh, in what seemed to be coordinated attacks on the activists.
No one has yet claimed the responsibility of the attacks but people living especially in Tribal areas did not like anti-polio activists to carry out vaccination campaigns in their areas. The campaign was postponed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) after the incident.
