The US has once again rejected the accusations levelled by the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.

US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a press briefing that all I can do is stand here and tell the truth.

He further said that the charges of the PTI founder, who is currently imprisoned, are unfounded and baseless.

Matthew Miller said that they want to see the right to freedom of expression and free press around the world, including Pakistan.

Responding to the Pakistan-Iran Gas Pipeline project, the spokesman said that talks are ongoing with the government of Pakistan on the said project. We cannot comment on the diplomatic talks with Pakistan, he added.

The spokesperson said that helping Pakistan deal with the energy crisis is one of the US priorities.

He further said that with the help of American development projects, more than 50 million homes are being supplied with electricity as the US and Pakistan are working on renewable energy.
