Pakistan Objects to US Congressional Resolution on Election Fraud Allegations


Just IN:— Pakistan strongly objected Wednesday to a US congressional resolution calling for an investigation into interference and fraud allegations related to Pakistan’s February 8 parliamentary elections. 

“We believe that the timing and context of this particular resolution does not align well with the positive dynamics of our bilateral ties,” said Pakistan's Foreign Ministry. The statement said the resolution “stems from an incomplete understanding of the political situation and electoral process” in Pakistan.

In its response, the Pakistan Foreign Ministry stated that Islamabad was *committed to “the values of constitutionalism, human rights, and the rule of law in pursuance of our own national interest.” It urged the US Congress to play its role in strengthening bilateral relations and mutual collaboration benefiting both countries. 

“We believe in constructive dialogue and engagement based on mutual respect and understanding. Such resolutions are, therefore, neither constructive nor objective.”
