What a resounding condemnation by (368-7) of the unhinging of the democratic process in Pakistan by the US Congress. A positive push in the right direction, along the lines of our own constitution, for democracy, rule of law, civilian control over our armed forces (not vice versa), personal freedoms, etc.
Resolution 901 states in essence that:
"The people of Pakistan deserve the respect of their government, the rule of law, free and fair elections and civilian command and control of their armed forces
......
"Whereas the Constitution of Pakistan states that ‘‘the Federal Government shall have control and command of the Armed Forces’’, and the oath taken by members of the Armed Forces swears they will ‘‘uphold the Constitution’’ and ‘‘not engage in any political activities;
"Whereas an essential safeguard of democracy is civilian command and control of apolitical military and security forces;
........
"Urges the Government of Pakistan to uphold democratic and electoral institutions, human rights, and the rule of law, and respect the fundamental guarantees of due process, freedom of press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of speech of the people of Pakistan;
"Condemns attempts to suppress the people of Pakistan’s participation in their democracy through harassment, intimidation, violence, arbitrary detention, restrictions on access to the internet and telecommunications, or any violation of their human, civil, or political rights;
"Condemns any effort to subvert the political, electoral, or judicial processes of Pakistan; and
"Urges the full and independent investigation of claims of interference or irregularities in Pakistan’s February 2024 election".

#PakistanArmy's CT ops from 2002 to 2013 were "partially successful" due to 1.political consensus & 2.public support.
The new proposal of such ops lacks both public & political backing
May Allah have mercy on this nation as the writing on the wall is abhorrent, to say the least
جرم تمہارے ، معافی نامے ہمارے؟
کس بات کی معافی!
ایک کے بعد ایک ناکام قاتلانہ حملے کی
قتل کی سازش کے ساتھ ہی پوسٹ مارٹم کی پریس کانفرنس کی
ظل شاہ کے قتل کو حادثہ قرار دینے کی
عمران خان خود اپنے اغوا کی
اپنے مینڈیٹ چوری ہونے کی
ججوں کی کنپٹی پر پستول رکھ کر اپنے خلاف سنائے گئے فیصلوں کی
پارٹی کے لوگوں کو ہراساں کر کے استیفیٰ لینے کی
Pakistan’s voters expressed their disillusionment with the nation’s powerful military in a surprising election result this month, but the army remains in control https://t.co/JpyFj5ZHIh
Retweet if you would like an open trial of Wheeler Dealer Mohsin Naqvi & his crony IG Punjab for Murder, Torture, Kidnappings, Ransacking & Interference in Electoral Process.
They ran character assassination campaigns of ppl based on fake cases but will themselves be sentenced for their own real crimes.
The number of total valid votes is greater than total number of votes casted.
Nawaz Sharif should be ashamed of himself for stealing public mandate. #مینڈیٹ_پر_ڈاکا_نامنظور
PTI's winning candidates, whose results have been/are being altered, should gather public and start a protest in front of ECP & their concerned offices
There are fears that the candidates who were winning by huge margins till last night, the results of all these seats were withheld and all the polling agents were forced out of the offices of ROs. Under a well-thought-out plan, the election results and Form 45 of the candidates have been changed at will. The candidates who were looking far behind suddenly started winning and the winning candidates started losing.This is the worst abuse of public mandate.This process will increase political instability in Pakistan. Such results will not be accepted at international and national level. International media is also covering the general elections of Pakistan. There are fears that the 2024 general elections will become controversial and lose their transparency.

#Elections2024
#ElectionResults
Against all odds and bans of sorts thrown by rogue military Generals, Unjust Judiciary, & a treasonous Election Commission . . .
@ImranKhanPTI has effectively turned this 'selection' of an #elections into a referendum
United States is spreading “democracy” around the world by arming a genocide committed by an apartheid regime in the Middle East and overthrowing an elected and popular leader in South Asia, while staying silent about his unlawful imprisonment.
Humiliatingly, armed civilians kidnap one former PTI minister in broad daylight & in front of people without a slightest concern or fear, in a form that degrades human dignity before the reputation of the Pakistani state.
Is it all because of the fear of PTI before the elections?
