United States Pakistan bill ignores Indian concerns
The Kerry-Lugar bill, which triples US aid to Islamabad, seems to have ignored New Delhi’s concern about use of Pakistani soil for terror attacks in India, even as it requires presidential certification that the Pakistan Army is making “concerted efforts” against Taliban.
The bill, which was unanimously passed by the US Senate on Wednesday, requires annual certification from the US President that the Pakistani security forces are “making concerted efforts to prevent the Taliban from using the territory of Pakistan as a sanctuary from which to launch attacks within Afghanistan.”
By doing so, the Kerry-Lugar bill, which is supported by the Obama Administration, indicates that its focus is on Afghanistan and appears to be mute on the terrorist attacks.
