LAHORE, Jan 15: The president of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Q (PML-Q), Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, has urged United States President George W. Bush to review his country’s registration policy for Pakistanis living there.

In a letter, ahead of foreign minister Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri’s visit scheduled for Saturday, he said hardships being faced by Pakistanis in the US had caused concern, even disappointment, among the people of Pakistan.

The registration law was sending a message which would neither serve the  US interests nor be helpful for the stability of the region. Pakistanis, the PML-Q parliamentary party leader said, were an asset to the ‘nation of immigrants’ who had enriched the US through their toil and contribution in various fields.
