The US state department has rubbished allegations by Pakistan’s prime minister that America was involved in the no-confidence motion tabled in the National Assembly earlier this week. State department spokesperson Ned Price asserted that the US respects and supports Pakistan’s constitutional process and the rule of law.
Price’s comments were echoed by the White House communications director, Sean Spicer.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan has claimed that he is the victim of an “international conspiracy” to unseat him. Khan has been hyping a so-called threat letter from a “foreign country”, which he, in an address to the nation, said was the US.
US Secretary of Defense Tom Price has said the US supports Pakistan’s democratic process and the rule of law. Price’s comments come after Pakistan’s Foreign Office summoned US Acting Deputy Chief of Mission Richard Snelsire and handed him a demarche to protest the “foreign conspiracy” to unseat Khan.
