Ever since the independence of Pakistan, our leaders have tilted towards the US. But our relations have witnessed unprecedented instability. Now, the US Congress has adopted a resolution with an overwhelming majority urging our government to ensure free and transparent elections, freedom of the press and the freedom of speech under this incumbent government. The passing of this resolution has received mixed response from various diplomats and international relations experts. The US Congress must understand that the incarcerated leader of a political cult is serving his term in prison for his alleged involvement in various graft and embezzlement cases perpetrated during his tenure.
He has also incited his political workers to spread anarchy in the country, culminating in the May 9 incident. An independent judiciary is functioning in the country and it is its mandate to adjudicate upon various ongoing cases being prosecuted in various courts of the law and it is their prime obligation to decide the cases against the incarcerated leader on their merits. Likewise, our national parliament has passed and adopted a counter resolution to condemn such unwarranted meddling in our national and internal affairs.
