Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday said that a Pakistani envoy wrote the memo which he had shown to the public during the Islamabad rally on March 27 as evidence that “foreign powers” were behind the opposition’s no-confidence move to oust his government.

The premier met journalists in Islamabad earlier in the day, as reported in wide sections of the media, during which he shared contents of the said memo.

Aaj News citing sources reported that the 'letter' was sent by Pakistan Ambassador to the United States Asad Majeed Khan after his meeting with the US secretary of state.

The premier in his today's media talk said that the memo was shared with the military leadership, adding that the tone used in the cable was "threatening".

PTI leader Faisal Vawda, while appearing in ARY News show "Off the Record", claimed that a conspiracy was being hatched to assassinate Prime Minister Imran Khan over his refusal to "sell the country". He made the claim while responding to a question about the same letter.

PM Imran has stated that the memo would also be shown to parliamentarians during an in-camera session.

Earlier Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry, while speaking to the reporters alongside Shehbaz Gill and Farukh Habib, also confirmed sharing of the letter during an in-camera session.

Fawd has said that it was evident from the letter that 'foreign hands' are behind the no-trust move as that the memo clearly mentioned the no-confidence motion.

During the March 27 power show, PM Imran had pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and waved it at the crowd, claiming that it was evidence of a global conspiracy to oust his government.

He had further maintained that external elements were using local politicians and money to “mend the country’s foreign policy”.

“We have been threatened in writing but we will not compromise on national interest,” he had announced during PTI's power show.
