LAHORE: President Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday defended the Kerry-Lugar bill and termed it necessary for Pakistan’s economy, saying the aid will benefit the people, not their leaders. According to a private TV channel, Zardari said almost Rs 140 billion would be spent on development projects every year under the bill.
