US Reiterates Non-Interference in Imran Khan's Political Affairs Despite Congressional Appeal

In a recent press briefing, US Foreign Spokesman Matthew Miller firmly denied any involvement of the United States in the political turmoil surrounding former Prime Minister Imran Khan. This statement comes despite a letter from members of Congress advocating for Khan's freedom. Miller reiterated that allegations claiming US interference in the overthrow of Khan's government are unfounded and false.

"The matter of Pakistan's politics has to be decided by the people of Pakistan according to their laws and constitution," Miller stated, emphasizing that the legal proceedings against Imran Khan are an internal matter for Pakistan's courts to resolve.

Miller's comments aim to clarify the US stance on the situation in Pakistan, underscoring a commitment to non-interference in the country's political affairs. This declaration reflects the broader principle that each nation must navigate its own political landscape without external influence.

In the same briefing, Miller also expressed concern over Canada's allegations against Indian Home Minister Amit Shah related to the killing of a Sikh leader, highlighting ongoing tensions and the complexities of international relations
