Around 35 Congress members, led by Democratic Party\u2019s Gregorio Casar, have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/1818191\/us-lawmakers-urge-biden-not-to-recognise-new-pakistan-govt\">written a letter<\/a> to President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken urging not to acknowledge the new government in Islamabad formed after the election.<\/p>\n<p>While replying to a question about the letter, Ms Baloch said, \u201cThis is a communication between public officials in the US and is not addressed to the government of Pakistan. We therefore have no comments to offer on such letters,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Baloch said Pakistan is a \u201cdynamic democracy\u201d and possesses the necessary domestic frameworks to address any issues related to elections or democratic processes. The spokesperson also refrained from commenting on a letter written to the International Monetary Fund by PTI to link any future financial support with the audit of the election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you know, the prime minister has made a statement on this matter. The Ministry of Finance takes the lead on IMF-related issues, so they will be in a better position to comment on this subject.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On a question about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/1817669\/four-pakistanis-on-trial-for-running-arms-to-yemen\">indictment<\/a> of four Pakistani nationals in the US for supplying arms to Houthi rebels, the spokesperson said FO was in touch with the US Embassy in Islamabad and Pakistan\u2019s Embassy in Washington to ascertain facts and provide consular access to the individuals following confirmation of their nationality.<\/p>\n<p><em>Published in Dawn, March 2nd, 2024<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD: Pakis\u00adtan has dismissed the United States\u2019 suggestion to probe electoral discrepancies, emphasising that it will not succumb to external dictates.
