US Responds to Imran’s Allegations, ‘Will Counter Disinformation with Information’

 

Washington, DC: The United States has affirmed that it would continue to counter disinformation with information.

While commenting on Imran Khan's persistent claim of a US conspiracy to topple his government, State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said Monday: "What we can do is counter disinformation, misinformation with information."

Mr Price, who was addressing a daily news briefing in Washington, said the State Department had rejected such claims "many times" from this podium as there's no truth to these allegations.

"We won't let propaganda, we won't let misinformation or disinformation get in the way of an important bilateral relation, including our valued bilateral partnership with Pakistan," he reiterated.

Responding to another question, Mr Price noted that general elections in Pakistan had not yet been announced, but "we support the peaceful holding of constitutional and democratic elections, not just in Pakistan but around the world. These are issues that we discuss with all of our partners around the world." – Dawn
