Pakistani army disputes ex-PM Imran Khan's claim that a 'foreign conspiracy' was behind his ouster, but says a demarche was given to US for using 'undiplomatic language' and 'interference'
Forum of civil and military leaders did not endorse ousted PM's claim of an American conspiracy to unseat him, Pakistani army says, but insists a demarche was given to US for"undiplomatic language" and"interference."
Pakistan's military has dismissed ousted prime minister Imran Khan's accusation that the United States had conspired to topple him in a parliamentary vote of confidence but said a protest demarche was handed to the Americans "for undiplomatic language" and "interference." The military's spokesperson, Major General Babar Iftikhar, denied Khan's accusations on Thursday, saying "You can see clearly whether there's any word of conspiracy in that statement. I don't think so," he told a news conference in reference to an NSC statement this month.
Iftikhar said the cipher from the former Pakistani envoy to the US was also received by the country's top intelligence agency ISI "and it briefed the NSC based on that cable."
