Not true: US rejects 'foreign conspiracy' claims to topple Imran Khan govt

The United States has rejected claims of a foreign conspiracy to topple the Imran Khan government amid the political crisis in Pakistan.

The United States has rejected the claims of involvement of 'foreign powers' to topple the Imran Khan government in Pakistan amid the political crisis in the country. "There is no truth to these allegations," a State Department spokesperson told India Today TV on Thursday.

Local media reports in Pakistan reported senior ministers of Imran Khan's government levelling sensational allegations of a "foreign conspiracy", pointing at the western countries led by the US to topple the government.

Earlier, the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf lost crucial support from its allies in the parliament. The Imran Khan government now faces a no-confidence motion against a united opposition that apparently has a larger number in the house.

Earlier, Pakistan's PM Imran Khan alleged that his government was in possession of a secret diplomatic letter that proved a foreign conspiracy to destabilise his government.

He alleged that the letter was sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) of Pakistan. While the government earlier said the letter could not be made public, on Thursday, its contents were presented before journalists "off the record", local newspapers reported.

According to The News International, the letter is the word-for-word transcript of an official conversation between the diplomats of Pakistan and another powerful country sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On Wednesday, Khan cancelled his scheduled address to the nation.

The US government has said that it was following the developments in Pakistan.
