The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has been saying that 60 members of the US Congress have written to their government in support of incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan, demanding his release and calling for sanctions against the Pakistani military.

But upon reviewing the identities of such US Congress members, startling details have emerged.

Out of the 62 members, nine are identified as staunch Jewish nationalists, 29 are considered open supporters of Israel, 13 lawmakers have publicly expressed sympathy towards India on various occasions, and 21 are known to be strongly anti-Pakistan.

In addition to previous revelations, it has come to light that two of the US Congress representatives have declared occupied Kashmir as part of India in their speeches. Notably, out of the 60 members in question, 50 are supporters of LGBTQ rights.

This situation raises serious concerns as anti-Pakistan forces appear to be openly intervening in Pakistan’s affairs to protect their interests in the country.
