Imran Khan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Tuesday rejected reports which claimed that the party was planning to invite foreign dignitaries, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to the oath-taking ceremony of its chief Imran Khan. As per news agency ANI, the party has said that the decision on inviting foreign dignitaries to the ceremony is pending.
PTI spokesperson Fawad Chaudhry, through its Twitter handle said that the decision would be taken after consultation with the Pakistan Foreign Office.
"Media speculations about international dignitaries attending PM oath ceremony are not correct. We have sought the advice of Foreign Office on the matter and will decide accordingly PTI," he tweeted.
PTI has emerged as the single largest party in the recent National Assembly elections. However, it is still short of numbers to form the government on its own.
