The Pakistan Foreign Office summoned the US Chargé d’affaires to express its displeasure with the “threat letter” displayed by Prime Minister Imran Khan during his public speech.
According to reports, the Foreign Office handed over the protest letter to the US envoy.
The National Security Committee (NSC) declared the communication of a foreign country’s senior official to be “blatant interference” in Pakistan’s domestic affairs at its meeting on Thursday and agreed to make a stern demarche to the country in question.
The 37th meeting of the NSC presided over by Prime Minister Imran Khan, resolved that the demarche will be made through the correct channels in accordance with diplomatic norms.
However, in response to questions, the US State Department denied Prime Minister Imran Khan’s claims that the US interfered in the no-confidence motion against him or sent any threatening letters to Pakistan.
When challenged about the US meddling by a journalist, the White House official likewise denied Prime Minister Khan’s allegation.
According to the spokeswoman, these charges are false.
Opposition leaders, on the other hand, have labeled the prime minister a security risk who is attempting to destabilize the country’s diplomatic relations in order to save his administration.
Opposition Leader in the National Assembly and President of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Wednesday urged a ban on Prime Minister Imran Khan’s speeches, labeling him a security risk to the country.
If the document was threatening, JUI Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman questioned why the premier invited the US envoy to the OIC meeting.
