KABUL (Pajhwok): US Republican Congressman Scott Perry has called for the designation of Pakistan as a state sponsor of terrorism, according to a media report on Friday.

The bill moved by him seeks to “provide for the designation of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan as a state sponsor of terrorism, and for other purposes”. The bill has now been referred to the US House committee on foreign affairs.

The proposed sanctions include restrictions on foreign assistance; a ban on defence exports and sales; certain controls over export of dual use items; and miscellaneous financial and other restrictions.
