The US on Saturday said the contempt case against Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani was Pakistan’s internal matter and hoped that all issues would be resolved under the law and constitution. “This contempt of court case against Gilani is nothing new… also this is an internal matter of Pakistan,” US State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters during a media briefing. Reacting to a query regarding Pak-US relations, he said his country was in persistent contact with Pakistani rulers and in wait for the recommendations by the Parliamentary Committee on National Security (PCNS). Toner said despite the circumstances besetting Pakistan and stagnancy in the bilateral relations, the two countries have continued to cooperate, adding that US Ambassador to Pakistan Cameron Munter was in consistent contact with the Pakistani leadership.
