Pakistan President calls for probe into alleged regime change “Conspiracy”

PAKISTAN: Pakistan’s President Dr. Arif Alvi on Tuesday called for a thorough probe into the alleged regime change conspiracy by ousted Prime Minister Imran Khan.

According to a statement issued by the President’s Secretariat, the President wrote a letter to former Prime Minister Imran Khan, insisting that an investigation should be carried out into the matter, reported Geo News.

The probe will be conducted by recording circumstantial evidence to reach a logical conclusion and provide clarity to Pakistanis.

Alvi said that the report in cypher included some statements made by Donald Lu, US Assistant Secretary of State in quotes mentioning a “no-confidence motion” and also mentioned “forgiveness” if it succeeded, and “dire consequences” if the said motion failed, reported Geo News.

He wrote that he had read the copy of the cypher sent by the then ambassador of Pakistan to the United States. The cypher contained an official summary of a meeting held in the Pakistan Embassy between Lu, another US official, the Pakistani ambassador, a note-taker, and other diplomats of the Pakistan Mission.

Underscoring the need for a full investigation into the matter, President Alvi informed Imran Khan that he was sending his letter to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as well as to Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial, requesting that the latter may constitute an empowered Judicial Commission to conduct open hearings in this regard. – GEO NEWS
