ISLAMABAD: The Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which is all set to form a new government in Pakistan, on Tuesday rejected reports that it was mulling to invite foreign leaders to attend the oath-taking ceremony of its chief Imran Khan.
News agency ANI reported that ''Tehreek-e-Insaf has rebuffed reports, which claimed that the party was planning to invite foreign dignitaries to the oath-taking ceremony of Imran Khan as Pakistan's Prime Minister,'' adding that ''the decision on the same was pending''.PTI spokesperson Fawad Chaudhry on Tuesday took to his Twitter handle and stated that his party would take the decision regarding the same after consulting with Pakistan's Foreign Office.The clarification from the party came in the light of reports that leaders of SAARC-member states, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, may be invited to attend Imran Khan's oath-taking ceremony.
"Media speculations about international dignitaries attending PM-designate Imran Khan's oath ceremony are not correct. We have sought the advice of Foreign Office on the matter and will decide accordingly," Chaudhry tweeted. |
