News about White House letter to Ambassador Jilani ‘baseless’: FO

ISLAMABAD, (APP): A Ministry of Foreign Affairs
spokesman on Tuesday dismissed a news published in a section of
press regarding a letter of displeasure from the White House to
Pakistan’s ambassador in Washington Jalil Abbas Jilani, terming it
“completely incorrect and baseless”.
“No such letter from the White House has been received either
in our Mission in Washington or this Ministry,” a statement issued
here said.
The spokesman termed the news “nothing but a figment of the
reporter’s own imagination”.
“It is unethical on the part of the Reporter, based in
Washington, to have filed a baseless story without verifying its
authenticity,” the statement added.
The news report had mentioned a letter from White House
expressing displeasure over a tweet in which Ambassador shared a
photograph of U.S First Lady Michelle Obama visiting his residence
at a family party.
