Distorting Pak-China relations: Investigation ordered into ‘anonymous letter’

Abbasi says it is top priority to unveil every conspiracy being hatched against national security

ISLAMABAD: Acting Speaker of the National Assembly, Murtaza Javed Abbasi, on Thursday issued directives to immediately investigate an anonymous letter sent to the parliamentarians whose content could highly distort Pakistan and China relations.

The anonymous letter was delivered to the parliamentarians residing in the Parliament Lodges in which extreme negative propaganda was made about Pakistan and China relations.



This letter was presented to Abbasi by Standing Committee on Information Chairman Captain (retd) Muhammad Safdar and other members of the committee. The parliamentarians briefed Abbasi about the details of the letter.

Abbasi expressed severe reservations over the letter and termed it a conspiracy to sabotage the exemplary relations between Pakistan and China.

In a statement, Abbasi said it is top priority to unveil every conspiracy being hatched against national security.

He also issued directives to Director Parliament Lodges and SP Security Parliament Lodges to conduct immediate investigation against the courier service which delivered the letter.



He also asked the Foreign Office to probe the authenticity of the letter besides investigating the source from where it originated and present a report in this context to him at the earliest.
