MULTAN: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Saturday has denied the news regarding landing of an Israeli airplane in Pakistan.

Shah Mehmood Qureshi while addressing a press conference in Multan said that there was no need to reply to the thing that has no authenticity.

Earlier, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry dispelled rumors that Israeli prime minister has landed in Islamabad on a secret visit.

The minister took to popular blogging website Twitter and responded to a tweet of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz’s (PML-N) leader Ahsan Iqbal demanding immediate clarification from the Imran Khan-led federal govt on the issue.

“The reality is that neither Imran Khan is Nawaz Sharif nor there is any fake Aristotle in his cabinet. We will not hold secret talks either with Modi Jee or Israel. Had you really care about Pakistan, we would not have been in the current situation. So, don’t express worry as Pakistan is in safe hands now”, Fawad replied in a detailed Tweet.

“The way federal minister for information and broadcasting lost his cool on demanding clarification, it seems something is suspicious”, the former interior minister responded.

Yesterday, the editor of Hareetz, an Israeli English newspaper claimed that Israeli PM Netanyahu had landed in Pakistan on a secret visit. He in a series of tweets stated that Netanyahu and his delegation remained in Pakistan for ten hours.

On the other hand, Civil Aviation’s spokesperson has also denied landing of Israeli aircraft at any airport in the country. The spokesperson termed it mere speculations.
