Former officer of American intelligence agency CIA, John Kiriaku has made a big revelation about Pakistan. He told that former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had pressured him to apologize by sending a letter. This letter was sent after Kiriaku’s statement in which he had assessed the strength of India and Pakistan and claimed India’s victory.
Kiriaku revealed in a podcast with Julian Dore that he was pressurized to apologize to the Pakistanis and was even given death threats. He said that in response to this letter from PTI, he told the party workers that he made toilet paper out of that letter and wiped it and threw it away.
Giving his opinion on the four-day military conflict between India and Pakistan between May 7-10, Kiriaku advised the Pakistanis that they should not provoke India because if there is a war, they will lose.
While talking to news agency ANI last month, he had said, ‘If a real war breaks out between India and Pakistan, it would be very wrong because Pakistan will lose this war. The truth is that they will lose and I am not talking about nuclear war here. I am only talking about war and hence continuously provoking Indians will be of no use.
In the podcast, Kiriaku said that after his statement, PTI Chairman Imran Khan sent him a letter, in which his statement was condemned and he was demanded to immediately apologize to Imran Khan, PTI workers and the people of Pakistan. He said, ‘I said that if there is a war, Pakistan will lose because India’s population is five times more than Pakistan. I can’t count how many death threats I was given. My lawyer told me to be careful, take care of my surroundings. At present, former Chief Minister of Punjab Chaudhary Pervez Ilahi is holding the command of PTI. After Imran Khan went to jail, he is leading the party from March 23, 2023.
Kiriaku said that instead of retracting his statement, he did just the opposite. He ignored his lawyer’s advice to throw away the letter and remain silent and sent a befitting reply to the letter to PTI. He said, ‘My lawyer was saying, throw it away, but I did not throw it away. I sent him an email and wrote in it, regarding your demand for apology, I say that I made toilet paper of your letter and wiped it and threw it away.’ Kiriaku wrote that after this he never received any threat.
