The Ministers stressed that a 'false perception' was being created against the top leader. This comes amid the speeches made by Imran Khan where he accused 'foreign conspirators' of trying to oust him. In his speeches, Khan claimed that Pakistan has an independent foreign policy.

The statements came during a special cabinet meeting held on Wednesday to discuss the situation arising after Pakistan's outgoing Ambassador to the US Asad Majeed Khan's diplomatic cable, reported the Express Tribune.
