WASHINGTON, Jun 07 (APP): The United States Tuesday brushed asides renewed allegations of a “US conspiracy” that led to the overthrow of the previous Pakistani government, saying Washington valued its ties with Pakistan.
“These allegations are categorically false; you have heard me say this before,” State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel told reports at his daily news briefing.
Replying to a question from the correspondent of a private Pakistani TV channel, he said, “Pakistani politics are a matter for the Pakistani people to decide, and for them to pursue within the auspices of their own constitution and laws.
“The US values our long-standing cooperation with Pakistan, and we’ve always viewed a prosperous and democratic Pakistan as critical to US interests – and that remains unchanged,” the spokesperson added.
