Islamabad: The Pakistan National Assembly responded to a recent US resolution by passing its own resolution condemning the call for an investigation into the February 8 elections.
The resolution, proposed by a member of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League–Nawaz (PML-N), criticized the US resolution for disregarding Pakistan's electoral process. It deemed the US resolution as interference in Pakistan's internal affairs and called for global powers to refrain from meddling in the internal matters of other countries.
Additionally, the PML-N member highlighted the Kashmir issue, urging the US Congress to address human rights violations in Gaza and Kashmir, as well as atrocities against minorities in India. The resolution, which also sought US intervention in the Kashmir dispute, garnered overwhelming support in the National Assembly.
During the session, opposition members voiced their dissent, prompting the resolution's proposer to accuse them of compromising Pakistan's sovereignty by welcoming foreign interference. The resolution's passage was met with criticism from Pakistan's Foreign Office, which expressed concerns about its timing in the context of the bilateral relations between the US and Pakistan.
