Pakistan displeased with election-related comments in US Congressional hearing
|
 [GEO.TV] Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch Thursday said while Pakistan values its relationship with the United States, but there were several misunderstandings regarding Pakistan's election laws during the Congressional panel hearing a day earlier.
"In the meeting of the American committee yesterday, there were several misunderstandings regarding Pakistani election laws," the spokesperson said during a FO's weekly press briefing today.
A day earlier, Donald Lu, the US Assistant Secretary of State, appeared as a key witness at a hearing House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee titled ‘Pakistan After the elections: Examining the future of Democracy in Pakistan and the US Pakistan relationship'.
During the hearing, Lu called for an investigation into the electoral fraud claims, saying that the US is closely monitoring the probe into the rigging allegations.
We have our own problems with people rigging elections.
He also mentioned “undue restrictions on freedom of expression, and peaceful assembly” during the February 8 polls.
