US brazenly interfering in Pakistan’s internal affairs, says Russia

Moscow: Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova Tuesday said that the United States (US) interferes in the internal affairs of Pakistan’s for its own benefit, in an attempt to topple government of an independent country—terming it ‘shameful’.  

Russia’s Foreign Ministry issued an official statement, alleging there is no doubt from the progress made after this (visit to Russia) that the US had decided to punish the ‘disobedient’ Imran Khan.  

The Foreign Ministry further said that the decision to dissolve the National Assembly of Pakistan came after Imran Khan’s visit to Russia. 

Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan himself had said many times that the conspiracy against him was carried out with foreign aid and funding, said Zakharova. 

“When he still came to us, [Lu] He called the Pakistani ambassador in Washington and demanded that the visit be called off immediately, which was also rejected.

“According to Pakistani media, on March 7 this year. In a conversation with Pakistani Ambassador Asad Majeed, a high-ranking US official (presumably the same Donald Lu) sharply condemned the balanced response of the Pakistani leadership to the events in Ukraine. It is clear Made that partnership with the United States is possible only if Imran Khan is removed from power,” Zakharova added.

Zakharova further added, “Another attempt by the United States to intervene in the internal affairs of a free state for its selfish interests. The above facts testify to this”.

“The Prime Minister (Imran Khan) himself has repeatedly stated that the conspiracy against him was foreign-inspired and financed. We hope that Pakistani voters will be informed of these circumstances when they go to the polls, which should be within 90 days after the dissolution of the National Assembly.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry statement came after PM Imran Nominated US Assistant Secretary of State for Central and South Asia Donald Lu as the official who made “threatening remarks” about his regime in a letter that the premier branded during a public rally Last month in Islamabad.
