ISLAMABAD : Reacting to a bipartisan bill introduced in the US House of Representatives seeking sanctions against Pakistan, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan clarified on Monday that his party has no connection with legislation in the US Congress.His comment came after two US lawmakers in the House of Representatives last month sought sanctions against Pakistani state officials via the bill titled ‘Pakistan Democracy Act’ over alleged human rights violations, including the “persecution” of former prime minister Imran Khan”. The bill aims to invoke the US Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, which permits the US to deny visas and entry to individuals accused of committing human rights violations. Talking to reporters at the Parliament House, Gohar said countless legislations and resolutions are passed in the US Congress, however, the former ruling party has no connection with the said bill. He also clarified that his party is not in contact with the US delegation that arrived in Pakistan. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had brushed aside what was seen as an anti-Pakistan bill introduced in the US House of Representatives and hoped that the US would instead continue its supportive role in strengthening the Pak-US ties.
