A US lawmaker has introduced a bill titled “Stopping Pakistani Terror Act” in the Congress that seeks to designate Pakistan as a state sponsor of terrorism.

The bill tabled by US Congressman Scott Perry on March 8 read, “To provide for the designation of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan as a State Sponsor of Terrorism, and for other purposes.”

The bill introduced in the House of Representatives has been referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

“Effective on the date that is 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan shall be deemed to be a country the government of which the [US] Secretary of State determines has repeatedly provided support for international terrorism..,” read the bill.

The main categories of sanctions include restrictions on US foreign assistance, a ban on defence exports and sales, financial transactions and others.

The US government will be prohibited to export or “otherwise providing (by sale, lease or loan, grant, or other means), directly or indirectly, any munitions item” to a country subjected to the sanctions mentioned in the bill.

US] shall suspend delivery to such country of any such item pursuant to any such transaction which has not been completed at the time the Secretary of State makes the determination..”

The development comes at a time when Pakistan has been facing immense pressure from the West to condemn Russia’s attack on Ukraine.

However, Pakistan has refused to criticise Moscow's actions but it has called for resolving the dispute through dialogue and diplomacy.

Last year, a group of high-profile US senators – including a former presidential nominee – has moved a bill in the US Senate seeking imposition of sanctions on the Afghan Taliban that could also potentially extend to Pakistan.

The bill, titled ‘Afghanistan Counterterrorism, Oversight, and Accountability Act’, triggered an angry rebuke from a senior member of Pakistan’s cabinet.

The 22 lawmakers, all from the Republican Party, introduced the bill that requires “the imposition of sanctions with respect to the Taliban and persons assisting the Taliban in Afghanistan, and for other purposes.”

Pertaining to Pakistan, the bill elaborated that “the first report… shall include – (1) an assessment of support by state and non-state actors, including the Government of Pakistan, for the Taliban between 2001 and 2020, including the provision of sanctuary space, financial support, intelligence support, logistics and medical support, training, equipping, and tactical, operational, or strategic direction; (2) an assessment of support by state and non-state actors, including the Government of Pakistan, for the 2021 offensive of the Taliban that toppled the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan… (3) an assessment of support by state and non-state actors, including the Government of Pakistan, for the September 2021 offensive of the Taliban against the Panjshir Valley and the Afghan resistance

First they came for Iraq, and I did not speak out, for I was not Iraqi.

Then they came for Libya, and I did not speak out, for I was not Libyan.

Then they came for Syria, and I did not speak out, for I was not Syrian.

Then they came for Russia, and I did not speak out, for I was not Russian.

Finally, they came for me. There was no one left to speak out for me.

I see whole lot of «pakistanis» cheering for USA in Ukrainian-Russian thread… well looks like America just made a gift for them

Well Pakistan officialy stayed neutral in Russo-Ukrainian war. So did China and India; will they also be labeled terrorist sponsors?

Pakistan is responsible for bleeding them dry in Afghanistan too. At least in their eyes. So you have to factor that in as well.

In actuality, Pakistani establishment had been advising them for decades that ‘ethon kuch ne laab na kaka’. They were just too stupid to listen.

Us had the whole world shook for decades but is now losing power. The hood is no longer scared:

The relationship between US and Pakistan is portrayed perfectly in this movie and is equivalent to Denzel(US) and Ethan Hawk(Pakistan)‘s relationship.

In the end, it’s Denzel’s obsession with screwing over the Russians that lead to his demise.

This is unproductive and unwelcome move from Republican senators, particularly in a time when US-Pak trade volume have significantly increased.

US Department of State never declared Afghan Taliban a terrorist organization. Pakistan and USA worked together to dismantle Al-Qaeda Network in the region on the other hand - the group which was deemed responsible for 9/11.

GOP needs to escalate its diplomatic engagement with Americans and seek clarification in this regard.

What is wrong with these people, honestly...

I think these American Republicans have shown their arrogance. They are acting as if they are the good guys, when they have done huge wrongs in the past like the Iraq war and the Mohammad Mossadegh affair.

I know it may be annoying to mention Mohammad Mossadegh affair, but it is a legitimate argument that USA has done wrong in the past. Why should we trust Americans now or in the future?

Guess we're getting more F16's lads, PAF unnecessarily purchased those Chinese J10CP's in haste, we should have waited 50 more years..

The sooner Pakistan purchases more J-10Cs the better. I hope USA completely loses its leverage over Pakistan.

Better to work with Chinese on all aspects of life, technology, and development.

Mindless exercise to justify campaign contributions from Indian community. This is not going anywhere.

 

[khansaheeb]

These Americans and their BS. They couldn't win in Afghanistan. Now they are after Pakistan, again.

Well you know what happened to all the friends of the ex-USSR, now it is the turn of the friends of Russia.

 

[Thorough Pro]

and we say Indians are delusional

Guess we're getting more F16's lads, PAF unnecessarily purchased those Chinese J10CP's in haste, we should have waited 50 more years..

 

[lastofthepatriots]

and we say Indians are delusional

Dreams are free and he’s thinking about the f16 instead the 22.

 

[TheSolution]

This is partially due to successful Indian influence, propaganda, lobbying

Public opinion is against Pakistan, public opinion for India is neutral or positive

 

[jupiter2007]

Most of the Terrorists groups get funding from western governments.

 

[Reichsmarschall]

We should cut all ties with the US and vice versa declare them a terrorist state..

You don't see the irony in your comment do you?
