PTI leader Shireen Mazari has said that party chief Imran Khan had been consistent in his demand for a “dignified relationship” with the United States and other countries based on mutual respect.

“Once again to the journos writing for English papers here and for editorials in the same at least actually read and understand [Imran] never denied US regime change conspiracy. All he is saying is it happened, is behind us and we are moving forward.

“Deliberate distortion of [Imran’s] words! Such dishonesty,” she said on Twitter.

“We do not accept this current slave-master relationship with the US that our successive rulers have inflicted on our nation,” she said in a tweet.
