Biden-Lugar Bill to be approved soon: Haqqani


WASHINGTON: Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States, Husain Haqqani said on Saturday that Biden-Lugar Bill would be tabled again in the US Congress by its movers with a new name.

Talking to Geo news, Haqqani denied the reports that the Biden-Lugar Bill was not endorsed. He said that the US had its own constitutional and legal practices.

Haqqani said majority of US legislators from both the Houses were not in favour of slapping more restrictions on Pakistan. US President Barrack Obama has also supported the Biden-Lugar Bill. He said the Congress could not discuss Biden-Lugar Bill on agenda due to the US presidential campaign, but it would be tabled soon for approval.
