Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said his government handed an official protest to the U.S. embassy on Friday over what it called Washington's interference in the country's affairs.
"We now have given a demarche to American embassy," Khan told local television channel ARY in an interview, referring to a diplomatic note over what he described as a foreign conspiracy to oust him from power.
Speaking on Thursday in a nationally televised address, Khan said a Western country had been unhappy about his Moscow visit. He mentioned the United States before smilingly correcting it to "a foreign country." But on Friday Khan named the United States, in his interview with ARY News TV.The U.S. embassy in Islamabad did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
In an unusual move, dozens of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf ruling party figures, led by a provincial minister, rallied in the centre of Peshawar, chanting, "Down with America!" "We will prefer hunger over a surrender to the U.S.," said another provincial lawmaker in the rally, Fazal Elahi.
