Pakistan on Thursday rejected allegations that its premier spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had financed the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) during the general elections in Bangladesh in 1991. Responding a query during weekly press briefing regarding statement of BD Awami League leadership that their rival Khalida Zia received financial support from ISI in 1991, Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit termed the report as totally baseless.
He said these were part of the mischievous efforts to damage brotherly and mutually beneficial relations between Pakistan and Bangladesh. "Pakistan strictly adheres to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries and it is ill-advised to give credence to such false, misleading, and self-serving stories", he added.
