Imran khan named the United States as the country that threatened to depose him on Thursday evening.
During a political rally in Islamabad on Sunday, the Prime Minister waved a piece of paper, claiming that it was a letter carrying evidence of a foreign plot against him, and that the opposition's no-trust resolution was also a part of this foreign effort to destabilize his government.
Responding to a question regarding a 'threat letter', the US State Department categorically rejected any kind of involvement in the no-confidence motion against PM Imran Khan.
The department also maintained that the US was monitoring the situation in Pakistan. "We are closely following developments in Pakistan," the State Department spokesperson said, adding that, "We respect and support Pakistan's constitutional process and the rule of law."
