“While there will be further division in Pakistan, there will be certain action against Pakistan by Congress if polls are not held in a transparent and fair manner,” Senator Joseph Lieberman said at a news conference here on Wednesday.</DIV><BR /><DIV>
“In fact there will be serious consequences for both countries if elections are rigged as is being alleged by some political parties.”</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dawn.com/2008/01/10/top7.htm"><DIV>
