Anandpur Sahib, March 5: Anandpur Sahib Member of Parliament Malvinder Singh Kang on Thursday expressed deep concern over the recent airstrike in Minab, Iran, which reportedly claimed the lives of over 160 schoolgirls.
The MP affirmed that no strategic objective could possibly justify such a massive loss of young lives. He declared the incident an indefensible atrocity and maintained that the slaughter of children in their classrooms represents a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.
In a post on X, he said:” No strategic goal justifies the US-Israeli massacre of over 160 schoolgirls in Minab, Children shredded in their classrooms by airstrikes This is an indefensible atrocity, a blatant violation of international humanitarian law by the United States and Israel.”
Mr. Kang asserted that the global community must ensure an immediate and independent investigation to hold those responsible for the operation accountable.
The lawmaker further stated that his heart breaks for the grieving families whose futures have been stolen by the deepening moral stain of the conflict. He maintained that there must be an urgent halt to military operations that result in the slaughter of innocent civilians.
“It demands immediate independent investigation, full accountability for those responsible, and an urgent halt to operations that slaughter innocents. My heart breaks for the grieving families, the stolen futures, the deepening moral stain. Enough. No more,” reads his post.
Recent reports from international media indicate that the tragedy occurred on February 28, 2026, when a missile struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in the southern Iranian city of Minab. The strike took place during the morning hours while students were in their classrooms.
Iranian authorities have confirmed that 165 children and staff members were killed.
