WASHINGTON: The US Department of State on Wednesday reiterated that allegations of American involvement in the ouster of former PM Imran Khan were false.
The department’s spokesperson Matthew Miller said during the daily briefing, “As we have said many times, legal proceedings against the former prime minister are matters for the Pakistani courts to decide. The allegations that the US played any role in his removal from office are false.”
The spokesperson further said that he has addressed the issue “any number of times from this podium,” and that “ultimately Pakistani politics is a matter for the Pakistani people to decide in accordance with their laws and constitution.”
Responding to a question about how members of Congress, who wrote a letter to President Biden for the release of former prime minister, were belittled on social media, the spokesperson maintained, “I can tell you, we don’t know who is behind circulating that information ultimately, but if people have issues that they wanna engage with regarding US officials, whether they be executive branch officials or officials from the United States Congress, they should engage on the merits of those issues and not by talking about people’s religion or sexual orientation.”
