Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf's (PTI) Shireen Mazari during a National Assembly session on Thursday told lawmakers that a military alliance cannot be a solution to terrorism.
The PTI submitted an adjournment motion in the house to discuss Pakistan's membership of the 41-nation Saudi military alliance, saying that in light of a unanimous resolution okayed by lawmakers on Yemen calling for "neutrality in the conflict" in 2015, Pakistan must take certain steps before determining its position on the matter.
The PTI's chief whip in the NA urged the government to determine the nature of the alliance, make the Terms of Reference of the alliance clear and explain why the alliance was set up.
"A similar alliance was set up for Syria but nothing came of it," Mazari said.
"A military alliance is not a solution to terrorism... Even the Saffron minister believes that [retired] Gen Raheel should not have accepted a position [as the head of the alliance]," she added.
"There are at least 10 militaries present in the alliance who are also a part of a Saudi alliance against Yemen," Mazari cautioned.
