Islamabad, April 1: Pakistan summoned a top US envoy and raised a strong protest about America’s alleged ‘intervention’ in its internal affairs, according to the media reports.
The US State Department on Thursday flatly denied Prime Minister Imran Khan’s claims that Washington was involved in a ‘international conspiracy’ to depose him.
Notably, Khan revealed a ‘threat letter’ in a live address to the country, describing it as part of a foreign conspiracy to depose him because he was not acceptable for pursuing an independent foreign policy. In what looked to be a slip of the tongue, he listed the United States as the source of the threat letter.
The US envoy was summoned by the Foreign Office (FO), according to reports, over a ‘threatening letter’ that threatened terrible consequences if the Opposition’s no-confidence motion against Khan failed.
Following a decision by Pakistan’s National Security Council (NSC) on Thursday, the action was taken. A letter of protest was also delivered to the US diplomat by the Foreign Office on the language used by a foreign official during a formal communication.
However, the United States has stated that it did not send any letter to Pakistan regarding the present political crisis in the country, in an effort to dispel claims that it was involved in the no-confidence motion against Imran Khan’s government.
