ISLAMABAD Sep 30 (Online): The United States says it looks forward to free and fair elections in Pakistan.

Addressing a news briefing in Washington, the US State Department Spokesperson Mathew Miller pointed out that the United States has repeatedly rejected allegations about regime change in Pakistan.
