The United States spent the 20th century overthrowing democratically elected governments, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif said, in response to the U.S. Congress call for an impartial probe into Pakistan's general elections held earlier this year.

Posting the screenshots of different reports of alleged intervention in the past U.S. Presidential Elections, Asif said on X, formally Twitter, that "let's look at their history of irregularities in 2016 and 2020 elections, both Democrats and Republicans accused of foreign intervention and rigging, how about asking the United Nations for probe."

The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday overwhelmingly voted in favor of an impartial investigation into the claims of election manipulation in Pakistan following this year's general elections.

Additionally, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said, "We believe that the timing and context of this particular resolution do not align well with the positive dynamics of our bilateral ties and stems from an incomplete understanding of the political situation and electoral process in Pakistan."
