Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) faced disappointment on Thursday when the US State Department spokesperson avoided giving a direct response to a question about the imprisonment of party founder Imran Khan.
The question, raised during a media briefing, sought clarification on the expected support from US President Donald Trump, but the spokesperson chose to sidestep the question, offering no direct response.
State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce was discussing Pakistan-US counterterrorism cooperation on the arrest of wanted Afghan terrorist Sharifullah, when she was also asked about Imran Khan’s continued imprisonment and other related issues. However, Bruce kept focus on the counterterrorism cooperation between the two countries and avoided to reply to the query about Imran Khan.
