The U.S Senate has said that Pakistan's continued support of the Taliban and its brutal offshoot, the Haqqani network, indicates that Pakistan stands against the U.S's interests, pushing the White House to withhold aid to Islamabad.
The U.S senators have said that Pakistan has failed to change its policies on Afghanistan and the terrorist groups, accusing Islamabad of a double standard policy toward Washington.
They said that on one hand Pakistan promises to fight the terrorists while on the other hand, they continue their backing of the militant organizations.
"Pakistan continues to be a tremendously duplicitous partner in this, Mr. (Richard) Olson and I have talked about this on several occasions, but certainly they are working against our interests through helping support in the ways they do to Haqqani network, they are the great threat to the Americans, soldiers, they are certainly a threat to the Afghan military," said senator Bob Corker.
The US Senate discussed the situation in Afghanistan with the US special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Olson.
At the meeting, Olson warned that the war on terrorism will not succeed unless Islamabad proves its sincerity in the campaign against terrorism.
