Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former Prime Minister Imran Khan has started a "long march", intended to topple the government of Shehbaz Sharif, who, he claims, was brought into power through a US-led regime change conspiracy.

Imran Khan has repeatedly claimed that his government was ousted through a conspiracy, hatched by the US and implemented through their local facilitators in the then opposition and now coalition government, coupled with hidden support of the military establishment.

Washington has completely denied the allegations and has called on Imran Khan to refrain from levelling such allegations. 

In its latest response, the US again rejected and brushed aside the allegation of regime change in Pakistan, highlighting that the ongoing disinformation being spread by Imran Khan will be responded to with information.

"United States will not let disinformation get in the way of bilateral relationship with Pakistan. We value the long-standing cooperation between the United States and Pakistan. We have always viewed a prosperous and democratic Pakistan as critical to our interests. This remains unchanged," said a US government spokesperson.
