Ted Poe News
The US has been reluctant to cut ties or meaningfully confront Pakistan over its treachery because the supply line that keeps the coalition fed and equipped in Afghanistan runs through Pakistan, Republican Congressman Ted Poe said in an op-ed in The Washington Times titled 'Pakistan's long history of duplicity'.
Several Congressmen from Texas, Florida, Arkansas and California issued a statement criticising the attacks, and paid condolences to the families of the deceased and injured.
His remarks came just three days after he had made similar comments in which he urged the Trump administration to cut-off military aid to Pakistan.
Poe alleged that since 1990, Pakistan has been supporting terrorist groups in Kashmir like the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in its proxy war with India.
A MNNA country is eligible for priority delivery of defense material, an expedited arms sale process, and a US loan guarantee program.
US Congressman Ted Poe urged the Pakistan government to initiate strong actions against the members of Haqqani Network instead of actively supporting them.
More than 50,000 new signatures have been added to the final count of the White House petition seeking to designate Pakistan a state sponsor of terrorism, making it the most popular US petition so far.
After Uri attack, a number of WhatsApp users are getting a message about 'petition to declare Pakistan terror state'.
“There is now a mountain of evidence against Pakistan. The reason is that Pakistan plays both sides,” Poe said.
In a big blow for Pakistan, a bipartisan group of two powerful American lawmakers has introduced an act in the US House of Representatives to designate Pakistan a State Sponsor of terrorism.
Earlier in May, the US House of Representatives had approved $900m CSF outlay for Pakistan as part of the annual Defence Authorisation Bill.
A US lawmaker, who heads a Congressional sub-committee on non-proliferation, has urged Obama not to ink any kind of civil nuclear deal with Islamabad.
