An influential Republican Congressman has reintroduced legislation in the US House of Representatives to terminate the designation of Pakistan as a major non-Nato ally.
The bill was reintroduced by Congressman Andy Biggs, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance, who said that the president should not issue the certification unless Pakistan continues to conduct military operations that are contributing to significantly disrupting the safe haven and freedom of movement of the Haqqani Network in Pakistan.
This also needs to mention that Pakistan has gone to great lengths to prove its commitment to not allow the Haqqani Network to use Pakistan as a safe haven and that Islamabad is actively coordinating with the Afghan government to limit the movement of militants like the Haqqani Network along the Afghan-Pak border.
This piece was first presented at the US House of Representatives back in January of 2019 by Biggs and every year since. Since then, each time, not a single legislating success would move forward from what has happened the previous years before.
