A top American lawmaker has called for re-evaluation of aid to Pakistan in the aftermath of the attack on IAF base in Pathankot, saying the US should not provide assistance to nations that help terrorists. “It is being reported that members of the Pakistani military may have provided training and assistance to the jihadists who attacked India this week,” Congressman Ted Poe said in a statement.
“If this is true, the United States must immediately re-evaluate aid to Pakistan which I have long called for. We should not send money to nations who provide assistance to terrorists,” the Republican lawmaker from Texas said.
“We stand with our friend India during this time and urge all nations in the region, including Pakistan, to join together to bring the attackers to justice,” said Poe.
