ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said on Monday he was not aware of any letter that proved a foreign-funded conspiracy to topple the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) administration while addressing a news conference in Islamabad.
Prime Minister Imran Khan told a mammoth political gathering of his party workers and supporters on Sunday that some international powers were trying to bring down his government since he was trying to pursue an independent foreign policy.
Khan maintained he had been threatened "in writing," adding that he was also in possession of a letter that could be used to substantiate his claim.
The interior minister, who accompanied PM Khan to the political rally, expressed ignorance about the letter while responding to a query.
"I don't know anything about the letter," Ahmed said. "I will never say a thing in my whole life of which I'm not aware."
However, he said it took courage to run an independent foreign policy for a country with weak economy while praising the prime minister for guiding the country in that direction.
Khan did not share the content of the letter with people attending the gathering, saying he had to protect his country's interest.
However, he promised to divulge more information about the "foreign conspiracy" against his administration in the coming days.
