more-inIndependent MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar said on Tuesday that there was nothing wrong in the Home Ministry’s view that Pakistan cannot be termed a “terror state”. The Bill came up for discussion on February 3, at the end of the first half of the Budget session. “The Bill will come up for discussion again when the Rajya Sabha resumes. My main objective was to start a discourse on the subject and [it is] high time Parliament took up the issue,” Mr. Chandrasekhar said. The Home Ministry has written to the Parliament Secretariat opposing the Bill as it jeopardises international relations under the Geneva Convention.
