An online White House petition asking for Pakistan to be declared as a state sponsor of terrorism has crossed 1 lakh signatures thus qualifying to get a response from the Obama administration.
The online petition launched by Indian Americans last week has become the third most popular petition on the White House website with nearly 1.1 lakh people signing it. The Obama administration is expected to respond to it within 60 days.
The online petition created on September 21 says that the matter is important to the people of United States of America, India and many other countries which are continuously affected by Pakistan sponsored terrorism.
An initiative of the US President Barack Obama, “We the People” online petition at the White House website provides a window to American citizens to campaign before the
administration on a particular issue.
