A top American lawmaker has said, Pakistan must be held accountable for continuously working against the interests of the US. Republican Congressman Ted Poe, who is a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee and serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Terrorism, Non-proliferation and Trade, said this in an article in The Washington Times titled 'Pakistan's long history of duplicity'.<br/><br/>He said, US has been reluctant to cut ties or meaningfully confront Pakistan over its treachery because the supply line that keeps the coalition fed and equipped in Afghanistan runs through Pakistan. He said, the key link, however, does not come free and has even been severed by Pakistan on multiple occasions.<br/><br/>The Congressman also said, he has recently introduced two anti-Pakistan legislations in the House of Representatives for revoking major non-NATO ally status of Pakistan and to assess Islamabad's long history of cooperating with terrorists and determine whether or not Pakistan is a state sponsor of terrorism.
