US Department of State Spokesperson Matthew Miller has said Washington was not involved in the conspiracy against the former Pakistani prime minister.
“The US is not involved in any conspiracy. The allegations against the US are false and will remain so,” Matthew Miller said in reply to a question during a press conference.
The US expressed concern over the visit of the former PM of Pakistan to Russia, Matthew Miller said in response to another question.
The spokesperson said that the former PM visited there on the day of Russia's attack on Ukraine, on which we clearly expressed our concern.
He said the US cannot discuss private conversations with Pakistani diplomats. Matthew Miller said yesterday that the PTI chief’s arrest was an internal matter for Pakistan.
"But of course, we continue to call for the respect for democratic principles, human rights and the rule of law in Pakistan as we do around the world," he said.
It is for the Pakistanis to decide the future of the country's politics, he said, adding that Washington was determined to work with Pakistan on many issues.
