Pakistan’s support base in the US is fast dwindling as American lawmakers are unhappy over Islamabad’s reluctance to take action against some terror groups and its continuance of providing safe havens to them, a group of Indian parliamentarians has said.
“One thing came across very clearly from across the spectrum that they (Americans) are very unhappy with Pakistan.
They are very concerned about…Americans lives at stake (in Afghanistan), the kind of promises that have been broken,” Baijayant Jay Panda of the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) told reporters.
Panda, who is leading a seven-member delegation of Parliamentarians as part of Indo-US Forum of Parliamentarians (IUFP) organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industries (FICCI), said the sense he and his colleagues got from these meetings that the support for Pakistan in the US has come down considerably in the last few years.
