| Furor on K-L bill 'propaganda to malign President': Farhatullah |
| 2009-10-09 |
| [Geo News] Presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar has said that the ongoing hue and cry on the Kerry-Lugar bill is actually a propaganda against the democratic government. Speaking in Geo News program "Aaj Kamran Khan Kay Saath," Farhatullah Babar said the Bill is not in clash with Pakistan's basic interests. He said the US government has devised the Bill for on its own. "A bill was also passed in former president Pervez Musharraf's regime and strong words were also used in it too," he argued, adding, "neither the then president or prime minister signed that bill." "It is in fact an attempt to malign President Zardari," he maintained. He said no criticism was seen against any such bill in the past, although very strong words were used in them. The Presidential spokesman said if anyone finds the Bill in clash with the country's interests. |
