No request received on Imran Khan swearing-in: MEA
New Delhi, Aug 9 : The Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday said that it has not received any request from anyone in India for attending the swearing-in of cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan as Pakistan Prime Minister.
"We have not received any such request," ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in response to a query at a media briefing here.
"I have read in the media that some people have said that if they go they will seek MEA's advice," Kumar said.
