    ‘We must show our sovereignty’: Ishaq Dar on US legislators’ resolution into election rigging

    On Thursday, Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar stated that Pakistan should respond tit-for-tat to the recent US House of Representative resolution demanding a probe into the February 8 elections.

    “In response to them, we will also bring about a resolution. We must show our sovereignty, we must show our unity, we must show that we mean business. This [resolution] makes no sense,” exclaimed the senior Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader addressing the floor of the National Assembly today.

    Earlier this week, the US House of Representatives, in an overwhelming majority, voted to demand an investigation into the rigging allegations of Pakistan’s general elections this year.

    The move triggered a strong response from Islamabad, with the Foreign Office saying it “stems from an incomplete understanding of the political situation and electoral process in Pakistan”.

    A district and sessions court in Islamabad will announce its reserved decision today in incarcerated former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi’s petition to suspend their sentence in the Iddat case.

    Imran Khan is serving his sentence in the Toshakhana case, the £190 million reference case and the Iddat case.

    If Imran Khan gets relief in Iddat case today, he will be released from the jail, as courts have already suspended Khan’s sentences in Toshakhana case and £190 million corruption case.
