Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said on Friday that the United States will not interfere in Pakistan’s internal affairs.
Expressing his thoughts on Samaa TV, Asif lashed out at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), saying, “Some of the people are causing uproar that US President-elect Donald Trump will release their leader [PTI founder].”
“There is no probability of any pressure from the US in the matters pertaining to the PTI founder,” Asif stated.
Speaking about Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif, Asif said: “Nawaz Sharif had never kowtow to the United States.”
“Pakistan is having a desire for the balanced relations with the United States,” he said.
Asif maintained: “Releasing anybody or taking somebody else is merely a story."
