Conditions in Kerry-Lugar Bill is stated policy of Pak: US
Washington, Standing its ground on the controversial clauses in the USD 7.5 billion US aid bill to Islamabad in the face of strong objections raised by Pakistan military, the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee today said it was based on the stated policy of that country.
Coming out with an extraordinary statement, the Senate Committee, whose chairman John Kerry is the co-author of the bill, said the legislation was based on the stated policy of the Pakistan government, its military and opposition parties.
"The conditions ask nothing beyond what Pakistan's own leaders have already promised," the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said in an unusual statement 'Separating Myth from Fact on Enhanced Partnership with Pakistan Act of 2009'.
