ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Wednesday responded to the US House of Representatives Resolution 901 concerning the political situation in Pakistan, dismissing it as lacking in constructive and objective understanding of the country’s political dynamics and electoral process.
Speaking at a press conference, Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch stated that the resolution on Pakistan’s 2024 general elections reflects an incomplete understanding of the nation’s political situation and electoral procedures.
Baloch emphasized that Pakistan views the timing and context of the resolution as discordant with the positive trajectory of Pakistan-US bilateral relations. She highlighted Pakistan’s commitment to constitutionalism, human rights, and the rule of law, underscoring these as integral to national interests.
The spokesperson affirmed Pakistan’s stance on constructive dialogue and engagement rooted in mutual respect and comprehension, labeling such resolutions as counterproductive and lacking in objectivity.
She expressed hope that the US Congress would contribute positively to strengthening Pakistan-US relations by focusing on collaborative opportunities beneficial to both nations and their peoples.
Earlier, the US House of Representatives, through a resolution, expressed its support for democracy and human rights in Pakistan and urged an impartial investigation into the alleged irregularities during the February 8 general elections in the South Asian country.
