AhlulBayt News Agency - Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said on Saturday Iran is not involved in any anti-state activities in Pakistan.
“Iran has always supported us in tough times and is not involved in anti-Pakistan activities,” he said while speaking at a press conference in Islamabad.
He went on to denounce media reports that “poked fun” at Iran and its supreme leader and said, “This failed to reflect that Pakistan and Iran are, in fact, friendly nations.”
The interior minister also added that some segments of the country were attempting to blame the issue of the Indian spy on Iran, which, he said, was not right.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani arrived in Islamabad on March 25 to hold talks with Pakistani leadership on improving relations and strengthening economic ties after sanctions were lifted from the Islamic republic by world powers. During the meeting, the matter of the arrested Indian spy was also discussed.
“The issue of detained Indian Spy Kulbhushan Yadav is not linked with Iran. It has to do with India I urge people not to link the matter of held Indian spy with our relations with Iran,” he said.
