ISLAMABAD: The opposition in the National Assembly Thursday described the Kerry-Lugar Bill as a zero-sum game while rejecting the explanatory statement from the United States describing it a ‘latest charade’ that was termed by the foreign minister ‘Historic’.
The legislators started to lose interest in the debate on the Kerry-Lugar Bill as it continued for a week in the National Assembly and they found it was aimless practice for them.Ayaz Amir described the explanatory statement attached with the Kerry-Lugar Bill as the ‘latest Charade’ from the United States.
But at the same time, the treasury benches defended it as the PPP Information Secretary Fauzia Wahab said some forces in the country were expressing their displeasure as the aid was coming for the democratic government.
Ayaz Amir, who is key opposition speaker on Thursday debate on Kerry Lugar Bill, described the bill as zero sum game.He rejected the explanatory statement saying that it had not any worth and added, “It was not historic document as described by the foreign minister as its value is less than the Rs20 stamp paper.”
