Islamabad: Pakistan summoned a senior US diplomat here and lodged a strong protest over America’s alleged “interference” in its internal affairs, according to media reports Friday. The step was taken after a decision by Pakistan’s National Security Council (NSC) Thursday. The Foreign Office also handed over a letter of protest to the US diplomat over the language used by a foreign official during a formal communication. The US diplomat has been told that “interference in Pakistan’s internal affairs is unacceptable”, the report said. Prime Minister Khan linked the letter with the no-confidence motion against him by the Opposition in the National Assembly.
