Washington: The current situation in Pakistan was the topic of discussion in the weekly press briefing of the US Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Journalists asked questions about important issues including the meeting of the American diplomats with Imran Khan in jail, and the allegations of mandate theft in the recent election.
According to the World News Agency, a journalist asked the spokesperson of the US Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Matthew Miller, that the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shahid Khaqan, had admitted that the current government had stolen the mandate, so basically, Shahbaz Sharif should not have been the Prime Minister. .
The journalist asked the American spokesman Matthew Miller, do you agree with Shahid Khaqan Abbasi?
To which the American spokesman Matthew Miller briefly replied that you must have heard me say many times from this platform that the decision about the government in Pakistan will be decided by the people of Pakistan.
The journalist added that a few days ago, the American official from the Islamabad embassy went to meet the Pakistani-American man named Zahir Jafar, who has been convicted for the gruesome murder of his girlfriend.
The journalist asked that American diplomats went to Adiala Jail to meet Zahir Jafar while former Prime Minister Imran Khan is also imprisoned in the nearby barracks, but why was he not met when Pakistani Americans have repeatedly demanded it?
In response to this question, US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said that the question can be better answered by the US embassy in Pakistan.
It should be remembered that several American members of the assembly and leaders have demanded the officials of the American embassy in Pakistan meet Imran Khan in Adiala Jail.
