Pakistan Foreign Office has said that there is no possibility of any editing of the communication, referring to the threat letter from the then US Ambassador Asad Majeed.
FO spokesperson Asim Iftikhar said during his weekly press briefing.The spokesperson added that Ambassador Asad Majeed would continue working as his transfer from Washington to Brussels was part of a routine procedure.
"His agreement has already been received and the appointment notified and he will be proceeding to Brussels accordingly," the spokesperson said.
In response to a question, Iftikhar said the ambassador briefed the National Security Committee (NSC) meeting last week and provided his assessment on the cable — touted as a "threat letter" by ex-prime minister Imran Khan.
The NSC had Friday ruled out a foreign conspiracy behind the ouster of the PTI-led government in a setback to ex-premier Khan's narrative of a "regime change conspiracy".
