An official from the State Department stated during a press conference on Tuesday that the United States is still closely monitoring Imran Khan’s case and the circumstances.
US monitoring Imran Khan’s case closely: A reporter ask whether the Congress had request the State Department to investigate the cypher connected to the case in which Imran Khan was detaine.
Vedant Patel, the chief deputy spokesman for the US Department of State, said, “We continue to communicate with our congressional colleagues on a number of subjects. “I’m not going to talk specifically about something like that. However, as you have already heard, we continue to constantly watch this case and the situation.
In a motion of no confidence last year, the US repeatedly denied any involvement in a plot to oust Imran Khan from power.
Since August 5, 2023, Imran has been detained in Attock Prison. He was first detained on suspicion of corruption, but a judge eventually released him on bail.
Meanwhile, he remains imprisoned on the grounds of allegedly breaking the Official Secrets Act by disclosing the contents of a secret cypher.
An exchange between a Pakistani diplomat and a top US official served as the cypher.
Donald Blome, the US ambassador to Pakistan, has met with the interim chief minister Mohsin Maqvi, the inspector general of the Punjab Police, Usman Anwar, and the chief election commissioner, Sikander Sultan Raja. They talked about the necessity for transparent elections as well as the state of law and order in the nation.
