Pakistan continues to give a pass to extremists who seek to destabilise Afghanistan or attack India, top US lawmakers have said as they backed President Donald Trump's decision to suspend security assistance to the country. The lawmakers said that the counterterrorism cooperation had been been central to the US-Pakistan relationship, but Islamabad did not fulfil its commitments. The US in January this year suspended about USD 2 billion in security assistance to Pakistan for failing to crack down on terrorists on its soil.
