The United States has reiterated its non-involvement in Pakistan’s internal politics, dismissing suggestions that former prime minister Imran Khan’s legal troubles are linked to American influence.
Responding to a journalist’s inquiry about claims from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Latif Khosa, who suggested that former US President Donald Trump’s return to office could lead to Khan’s release, State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said that Imran’s legal situation is a matter for Pakistan’s judiciary.
Miller added that the US has no role in influencing Pakistan’s domestic political landscape.
This statement followed a query about a letter reportedly signed by 60 US lawmakers urging President Joe Biden to advocate for Imran Khan’s release, which some social media sources have attributed to “Jewish lobbying.”
Addressing these claims, Miller noted that such assertions are circulating online and emphasised that any discourse involving US officials or lawmakers should refrain from mentioning personal religious or sexual identities.
Miller firmly stated, “We have said multiple times that former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s removal and subsequent legal matters are for Pakistan’s judiciary to resolve.” He also responded to queries regarding PTI leader Khosa’s claims that US diplomat Donald Lu had conspired in Khan’s ouster. Miller rejected these accusations, reiterating that the US had no part in Khan’s dismissal and that any such allegations are baseless. “The people of Pakistan have the responsibility to determine their political future within the framework of their constitution and laws,” Miller said, adding that the State Department has maintained this stance consistently.
