FO denies involvement in Shahzad Akbar acid attack claim

The Foreign Office (FO) has firmly denied the accusations made by PTI leader Mirza Shahzad Akbar regarding the alleged participation of state officials in an acid attack against him last year. The FO described Akbar's claims as 'preposterous' and 'categorically rejected' them.

Shahzad Akbar had accused the state of Pakistan and its institutions of being involved in the attack. However, the FO has vehemently refuted these allegations, stating that there is no truth to the claims made by Akbar.

This incident sheds light on the ongoing tensions between political figures and state authorities in Pakistan. The clash between Akbar and the FO underscores the challenges of maintaining transparency and trust between government officials and the public.

The Foreign Office's swift response to the allegations made by Shahzad Akbar highlights the importance of addressing such serious accusations promptly and decisively. As the situation unfolds, it remains crucial for all parties involved to uphold accountability and integrity in their actions.
