ISLAMABAD, August 16(ABC): Former human rights minister and senior PTI leader Shireen Mazari on Tuesday said that US ambassadors meeting the officials of provincial governments is “not a problem”, as she defended Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Mahmood Khan’s meeting with Donald Blome.

The PTI recently faced criticism over contradiction in stances towards the United States.

Speaking at a press conference, Mazari asked under which contract US ambassadors visit sensitive areas while no Pakistani ambassador can go to the sensitive areas of other countries.

“No ambassador could meet the prime minister in our [PTI] government. There is a separate protocol [for such visits],” she said.
