Clarification

WASHINGTON: A spokesman of the Pakistan Embassy in Washington has clarified that comments attributed to Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi in a report published in the Business Recorder of April 21, are false and a complete distortion of what she said.

A denial was already issued on April 20 by a government spokesman about these wrongly ascribed remarks carried by an Urdu daily on the same day. The President of the Rawalpindi Press Club, Nawaz Raza in a separate statement issued on April 20 also described the remarks alleged to have been made about an 'Islamic Bomb', etc as completely false.
