ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf categorically rejected the news report about a meeting in which Imran Khan met with US Ambassador Cameron Munter in the presence of ISI Chief General Shuja Pasha.

According to PTI Secretary General Dr. Arif Alvi, the news item was totally fabricated, false and appears to be an attempt to provide support to the false propaganda unleashed by the PML-N and its coterie that PTI has backing from the military establishment.

Military Spokesman Maj General Ather Abbas also rejected the news regarding the meeting.

"The allegation is an attempt to divert the attention of the people from the fast-declining popularity of PML-N because of the failure of its government in Punjab and its anti-people policies that it practiced during its two tenures in the federal capital," said Alvi.

"Its failed rallies in Lahore and Faisalabad had driven it to desperation and it is venting its venom on PTI," he said.

He reiterated that such attempts would not dent PTI Chairman Imran Khan's growing popularity and the flocking of people to his party and programme which is meant to bring about a change in policies of the status quo and align them with the needs and aspirations of the people of Pakistan.

He said that the PTI will send a strong letter to the Sunday Times to retract the article otherwise they will claim damages in a court of law.
