WASHINGTON, June 16, 2023: US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller while briefing the newsmen in Washington on Thursday said that Pakistani politics are matter of Pakistani people to decide, pursuant to their own constitution and laws.
Replying to a question regarding PTI chief claims that defying US policies led to his downfall, US State Department spokesperson said: “Those allegations are absolutely false. Pakistani politics are a matter for the Pakistani people to decide, pursuant to their own constitution and laws. They are not a matter for the United States Government.”
