Washington/Islamabad: The US has again denied Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s allegations that America is behind the no-confidence vote against him. US State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Jaliana Porter, in a media briefing, said the allegations levelled by Imran Khan in a late night address to the nation on Friday “are absolutely not true”. “Let me just say very bluntly there is absolutely no truth to these allegations. Of course, we continue to follow these developments, and we respect and support Pakistan’s constitutional process and rule of law. “But again, these allegations are absolutely not true,” she said. In his address to the nation hours ahead of the reconvening of the National Assembly and the no-confidence motion against him, Imran Khan on Friday night declared he will never tolerate the installation of an “imported” government in Pakistan — meaning a government dictated by the US, and “will take to the streets” in protest. Referring to the letter — that he had first shared in the March 27 rally purportedly containing details of a “foreign conspiracy” to oust his government —Imran Khan said he wanted the public to see it but could not share it as it would “expose Pakistan’s secret code” that was used for conveying messages by missions abroad. Detailing the contents of the cipher, he said Pakistan’s ambassador to the US had met an American official who said that the prime minister should not have gone to Russia. “The ambassador tried to tell that [the visit] was already planned and there was a consensus. He (the US official) knew a no-confidence [motion] was coming. He said if Imran Khan is saved from it, then Pakistan will have to face consequences. See the arrogance [in his saying that] if the sitting prime minister is not removed, Pakistan will be damaged. “And then he (US official) said that if [Imran Khan] loses, Pakistan will be forgiven. He did not even say that if [I] lose and whoever comes next, we will first see what he does and then forgive him which means he knew who was coming [to power] and had gotten his achkan sewn,” Imran said. The US official alluded to by Imran is senior diplomat Donald Lu, and the Pakistani ambassador is Asad Majeed. UNI RN
