Kerry a source of internal meddling?
ISLAMABAD - The Obama Administration has asked Senator John Kerry, who will arrive in Islamabad on a two day long visit during next week , to take government of Pakistan into confidence over the much discussed Kerry-Lugar bill, top level diplomatic sources told TheNation Friday.
When contacted, Spokesperson of United States Embassy confirmed to TheNation that US Senator John Kerry would arrive in Pakistan next week.
Talking to this correspondent on telephone, spokesperson of US Embassy in Islamabad Richard Snelsire said Senator Kerry will hold meetings with President and Prime Minister of Pakistan while Kerry-Lugar Bill will remain the centre of these meetings.
Senator will hold meetings with top military authorities also, Richard said.
During telephonic conversation, spokesperson told this correspondent that President of United States Barack Obama held a meeting with Senator Kerry and asked him to meet top military and government authorities to convince them that Kerry-Lugar Bill includes nothing wrong against Pakistan; rather it was in its favour.
Other than the Kerry-Lugar Bill, security condition of region will also come under discussion, spokesperson said.
After spending two busy days in Pakistan, Senator Kerry will fly to Kabul where he is expected to meet top Afghan government officials, Richard Snelsire said.
This correspondent attempted several times to call spokesperson of Foreign Office Abdul Basit , however he did not take the call.
It is worth mentioned here Kerry Lugar bill that the US Senate passed a couple of week ago, has governed hot debates in Pakistan. Top US authorities admitted on Thursday that language of the KLB was not fair. According to diplomatic sources, the US Administration has decided to make suitable amendments in the bill.
