Islamabad: Pakistan on Monday rubbished as
"baseless" reports that Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar had
received an abusive call on her mobile phone from a man in
Karnataka.
"She did not receive any call. The media reports are
baseless," Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said.
He described the reports about Khar receiving an abusive
call that lasted 15 minutes as "totally groundless".
Reports in the Indian media had said police were
investigating a man in Karnataka who allegedly made the call
two months ago.
The reports quoted officials as saying that the probe was
launched after they received a complaint from Pakistani
authorities.
Khar, 34, was made Pakistan`s Foreign Minister last year,
becoming the youngest person and the first woman to hold the
post.
