ISLAMABAD – The National Security Committee met under the chair of Prime Minister Imran Khan expressed grave concern at the ‘threatning letter’, terming the language used by the foreign official as ‘undiplomatic’.
A Meeting of top civil-military leaders concluded that the statement is a ‘blatant interference’ in the internal affairs of the South Asian country which was unacceptable under any circumstances.
A communique issued by the government said Parliament should be taken into confidence on the serious issue that remains in the limelight since PM Imran waved a letter during Islamabad mass gathering.
The Committee exchanged views on the formal communication of a senior official of a foreign state to Pakistan’s envoy in the said country, which was duly conveyed by the ambassador to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In light of the interference, Islamabad will issue a strong demarche to the country in question both in Islamabad and in the country’s capital through proper channel in keeping with diplomatic norms.
Prime Minister Imran Khan chaired a meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC) at the PM House in Islamabad that was attended by federal ministers, the national security adviser, services chiefs, and intelligence officials.
Earlier today, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said the government had invited opposition leaders to the meeting to see the evidence of the foreign conspiracy, but they refused to attend the meeting which shows their involvement in the conspiracy.
