It is pertinent to mention here that renowned journalist Nasim Zehra has claimed that a United States (US) official conveyed to Pakistan’s Ambassador in Washington Dr Asad that relations with the country cannot improve until Imran Khan remains the prime minister.

The journalist took to Twitter to share that US Under Secretary of State of the United States did call outgoing Ambassador Dr Asad to deliver a demarche for Pakistan government.

“He told [ambassador] as long as Imran Khan is PM, relations with Pakistan can’t improve and if he goes [Pakistan] can be forgiven for its mistakes.”

She termed it an outrageous official communication and said that all must condemn.
