Washington, Mar 1 : US Senators have criticised the US administration for backing away from its insistence on an independent judiciary in Pakistan and for siding with President Pervez Musharraf in his refusal to reinstate the suspended judges.
They also questioned the Bush administration’s continued silence over the issue.
Senator Barbara Boxer, a Democrat, claimed that the Bush administration remained wedded to a policy that would keep the embattled Musharraf in power despite his weakness and lack of support.
