Pakistan rejects US rebuke to envoy


(MENAFN) Pakistan on Tuesday rejected as "baseless" reports that the US has reprimanded its ambassador in Washington after he tweeted an image of him and his wife with the first lady Michelle Obama.

In a statement, the Foreign Office said the media reports published regarding a letter of displeasure from the White House to Pakistan's ambassador to the US Jalil Abbas Jilani was "completely incorrect and baseless".

"No such letter from the White House has been received either in our Mission in Washington or this Ministry. It is nothing but a figment of the reporter's own imagination," it said.

It further said it was "unethical" on the part of the reporter, based in Washington, to have filed a "baseless story without verifying its authenticity."
