DG ISPR press conference confirms undiplomatic language and “Interference” by US in threat letter

General Iftikhar said the minutes of the NSC meeting can be declassified if the government decides.

He added that the cipher from the Pakistan ambassador to the US was also received by the ISI and it briefed the NSC based on that cable.

The DG ISPR explained that issuance of demarches are not specific to hatching of conspiracies but can also be given for other reasons. "In this case, it was given for undiplomatic language and is equal to interference."

The SOPs of such a cable, he continued, was that these ciphers were in the domain of the Foreign Office. "These are top secret documents and there is some circulation depending on which institution they're related to. When institutions get such cables, the FO begins work if there is something on national security in them."
