The lawmakers further said, it’s time that US should stop paying the country for its betrayal.

The 'Pakistan State Sponsor of Terrorism Designation Act (HR 6069) has been moved by Republican Ted Poe and Democrat Dana Rohrabacher, who is a ranking member of the influential Congressional Committee on Terrorism.

Poe, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Terrorism said, “"Not only is Pakistan an untrustworthy ally, Islamabad has also aided and abetted enemies of the US for years."
