WASHINGTON: Suspending aid and elevating controversial issues above allother concerns is not the way to deal with Pakistan, says Congressman EricSwalwell, a California Democrat.

Ms Jackson Lee, who chairs the Pakistan caucus in the US Congress and hasbeen a member of the House of Representatives since 1995, believes thatmost American lawmakers want to retain a relationship with Pakistan.
Congressman Henry Cuellar, a Texan Democrat, also emphasised the need tomaintain this relationship but urged Pakistan to reach out to the newleadership of the House, which is now dominated by the Democrats.
