UNITED NATIONS, Jan 20: US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, reiterated on Monday that the registration programme for Pakistani men living in the US cannot be changed and that they could not be exempted from the programme.
Responding to a question after UNSC’s meeting on terrorism, Powell said: “Those who are legally here have nothing to fear. Others should sort out their cases with the immigration authorities.”
Appreciating Pakistan’s support for the US war against terrorism he said that US has acknowledged it by helping Pakistan economically. It has also played a role in defusing tensions between India and Pakistan.
