Amendment to Stop Funding to Pakistan Defeated in US Congress

WASHINGTON: The US place of delegates has vanquished a revision to the Defense Appropriations Bill to stop American subsidizing to Pakistan. 

The change was moved by Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, who claimed Islamabad had undermined endeavors to battle terrorism.

The change was vanquished in a voice vote yesterday. "The strategy which has us subsidizing Pakistan's military isn't right, and the way that we can't even verbal confrontation an exact dollar figure is preposterous. It is crazy for us to keep getting substantial wholes of cash from China to provide for Pakistan," Rohrabacher said.

He said it was a joke to accept that the US help, once in a while beguilingly named as 'repayments', was buying Pakistan's collaboration in chasing down terrorists.

"It was the Pakistani foundation that protected Osama receptacle Laden for a considerable length of time. Also they keep on jailling Dr Afridi, the man who helped the CIA spot container Laden. Why would Pakistan do that on the off chance that they are truly on our side?" the Congressman asked.

Asserting that the appalling human rights record of the Pakistani government is despicable, Rohrabacher said it was surprisingly more dreadful on the grounds that American cash helped reinforcing the security compels that murder and oppress minority bunches who are denied their entitlement to determination toward oneself.

"This is particularly valid for the Baloch and Sindhi, two huge ethnic minority aggregates in Pakistan.

"Pakistan is not a partner, and any cash we send them just reinforces their capability to act against us and against Afghanistan as we withdraw our military. We can't purchase the companionship of an administration whose key hobbies are not adjusted to our own. They are unified with terrorist components and our steadily perilous foe, Communist China," he said.
