Bill in US House seeks to end Pak's 'major non-NATO ally' status
A Republican Congressman has reintroduced a bill in US House of Representatives to terminate Pakistan's status as a major non-NATO ally. The Congressman, Andy Biggs, argued that Pakistan's ties to militant groups remain a critical concern for US foreign policy. The bill stipulates that US must certify Pakistan's active efforts in combating terrorism before the designation can be maintained.
