People of Pakistan to decide its future leadership: U.S.

The Hindu  

The Joe Biden Administration said on February 9 it is for the people of Pakistan to decide their future leadership as the country voted in its general elections amid allegations of rigging and electoral malpractice. "Millions of Pakistanis went to the polls today to vote and I will reiterate that Pakistan's future leadership is for the Pakistani people to decide, and our interest continues to be in the democratic process," State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel told reporters at his daily news conference. But I am not going to get ahead of any of the other official election results, so I’m not going to comment on this any further," Mr. Patel said. We’ve When a reporter said the U.S. has been fairly muted on human rights violations in Pakistan, but the focal point between bilateral relations is the Pakistan military so election results do not matter, Mr. Patel said, "I would certainly take issue with that characterisation."
