UK Minister for Armed Forces James Heappey on Wednesday, while talking to journalists at a virtual session during his visit to Islamabad said that the UK was “disappointed” with Mr Khan’s visit to Moscow and had then communicated the same to the then government.
However, despite the disappointment, the only reason of Pakistan’s political upheaval was the domestic factors of the country, rather than some sinister foreign plot and looked relieved that there was now a convergence of views on international order, the minister claimed.
He went on to add that “What is happening in Pakistan at the moment politically is entirely the consequence of Pakistan’s domestic politics. And any suggestion that there is somehow some sort of outside interference is utterly fanciful.”
Mr Heappey’s comments came as PTI’s long march was under way. PTI chairman Imran Khan believes that the US conspired with local elements to dislodge his government because of his visit to Moscow to strengthen bilateral relations with Russia. Washington has already denied the allegation.
