Renowned Pakistani singer Asma Latta has rejected the allegations of being a spy for India, saying she could never think to spy against the country that gifted her respect and popularity.

While addressing a press conference in Peshawar, Latta, Urdu and Pushto singer, termed the allegations as ‘baseless’ and ‘ridiculous’.

“I am a Pakistani citizen and belong to Vina city of Punjab. My parents are also permanent residents of this country,” the Nation quoted Latta, as saying.

She said ‘some people had started a vicious propaganda campaign against her and published some stories calling her a Hindu woman,’ adding that she was a Muslim woman.

Latta said some people who were against her popularity wanted to defame her through media but these people would not succeed in their mean tactics.

She said she was a peaceful Pakistani and had no links with any spy agency or terrorist outfit.

An Urdu newspaper recently published a news in which Asma Latta was accused of spying against Pakistan and having sensitive pictures of government installations in addition to Indian and US currency.
