The United States administration has said that it wanted to see a Pakistani government move forward in a way that reflects the will of the country\u2019s people. \u201cSo with respect to the formation of a new government, that\u2019s a Pakistani process led by Pakistanis,\u201d US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in response to a query at a weekly press briefing on Monday. He was asked about the reaction of the US over the formation of a new government in the South Asian country amid reports of rigging. \u201cWe\u2019re not a party to it and it\u2019s not something that I would comment on. We want to see a government move forward in a way that reflects the will of the Pakistani people,\u201d the US State Department spokesperson said. When asked if an investigation into reported irregularities should be done first before the forming of a government, he said that the US wanted to see those investigations proceed. \u201cWe want to see them wrapped up as soon as possible.\u201d Miller was also asked about Pakistan\u2019s decision to move ahead to build a pipeline that will transport natural gas from Iran, a move it says is needed to meet the country\u2019s energy needs. \u201cI\u2019ll have to take that one back and get you an answer,\u201d the US State Department spokesperson said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
