Bonn, Dec 7 (ANI): U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich has said the US should apologise to Pakistan over deaths of its 24 soldiers in NATO air strikes last month, insisting that the incident should not hamper bilateral ties any further.
The Ohio democrat said that the November 26 incident "puts relationship, which is so important between the United States and Pakistan, at risk" while the two countries "need to work together, on so many issues."
The NATO must also compensate the deaths of the Pakistani soldiers, he emphasized while responding to a question at an event on Capitol Hill.
"This relationship between the United States and Pakistan is critical but it's not simply a matter of United States' security, it's about the security of Pakistani people as well." The Nation quoted Kucinich, as saying.
"We need to apologize to the people of Pakistan and NATO must pay reparations for the soldiers' deaths," he added.
The 24 Pakistani soldiers killed in the November 26 strikes were doing service for their country, he said, terming their deaths as "absolutely wrong." (ANI)
