Washington: (Web Desk) Principal Deputy Spokesperson at US Department of State Vedant Patel while briefing the newsmen in Washington said that the United States has nothing to do with Zalmay Khalilzad’s statements about political situation in Pakistan.

According to the sources, he stated this when asked by a newsman that there’s a general perception in Pakistan that Zalmay Khalilzad’s statements are kind of expressing the sentiments of U.S. Government.

Furthermore Vedant Patel said “Mr. Khalilzad is a private citizen, and any social media activity or comments or tweets that you might reference, those are done in his private capacity, does not represent US foreign policy, and he does not speak for this administration.”

Moreover replying to another question regarding current political chaos in Pakistan, Vedant Patel said any implication of violence, harassment, or intimidation has no place in politics, and we encourage all sides in Pakistan to respect the rule of law and allow the people of Pakistan to democratically determine their own country’s leadership pursuant to their own constitution and laws.
