Anti-Pakistan Bill In US Senate Sets Off Alarm Bells In Islamabad

Oct 2, 2021

International Desk: After the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan after almost 20 years, the Taliban have again taken over the country and formed their government. Pakistan’s hand is believed to be behind the devastation of Afghanistan and the Taliban. Of course, American troops have withdrawn from Afghanistan, but America is still preparing to surround the Taliban. Pakistan is also trapped in this preparation of America. Recently, 22 lawmakers of the Republican Party of America have introduced a bill for the destruction of Pakistan in the US Senate. In fact, there is talk of banning the Taliban in this bill, as well as preparing to tighten the noose on the countries supporting the Taliban. There is a stir in Pakistan regarding this bill.

22 Republican members of the US Senate have introduced a bill to crack down on the Taliban and terrorism. In this, Pakistan has been targeted more than the focus is on the Taliban. If this bill is passed in 180 days and US President Joe Biden gives it the green signal, then Pakistan’s economy will be destroyed. After the introduction of this bill, Imran government, army and ISI are all in panic. This is the point of debate on every TV channel. The possibility of trouble in passing the bill is also less. The reason for this is that Democrats and Republicans have almost the same view on Pakistan’s antics. Donald Trump had even met Imran Khan, but Biden is not ready to talk to the Prime Minister of Pakistan even on the phone.

Some Special Things Related To The Bill Introduced In The US Senate  

The name of this bill is Anti-Terrorist Operations, Monitoring and Accountability in Afghanistan.
The committee that prepared it is chaired by Republican Senator Jim Reiss. In this, some very tough questions have been asked from the Biden administration. Apart from this, information has been sought about the accountability of Pakistan and the aides of the Taliban in the 20-year-long Afghan war.

It has also been asked whether Pakistan gave open help to Taliban in the war in Panjshir Valley?
Did Pakistan help Taliban and harm America through non-state actors and drug smugglers?
Several parliamentary committees have contributed to the preparation of this bill.
The US Defense Secretary, Secretary of State and intelligence agencies will provide all the information to these committees in 180 days.

These will be discussed and debated at the highest level. After this the law will be finalized.
If President Biden approves, the law will go into effect

The media and common people in America believe that the shameful withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan is a big question mark on the super power of this country. American reputation in the world has been tarnished. The Biden administration is being heard from all sides of the country. It is present in the mind of the American Parliament and common people that it is because of Pakistan that the Taliban captured the government and it is now working day and night to get this government recognized. Republicans and Democrats seem to be united on this issue. So this bill may be passed soon.
