Fearing A Coup PM Calls Every Quarter To Help

Pakistan's prime minister telephoned the top British diplomat in the country this week expressing fears that the Pakistani army might be about to stage a coup, a British official and an official in Islamabad said Friday.
But, both the Prime Minister House and British High Commission denied any such call.
The call, which one official said was "panicky", suggests there was or perhaps still is a genuine fear at the highest level of the Pakistani government that army might carry out a coup or support possible moves by the Supreme Court to topple the civilian leadership.
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani asked High Commissioner Adam Thomson for Britain to support his embattled government, according to the officials, who didn't give their names because of the sensitivity of the issue. It's unclear if the British government took any action.
The Prime Minister House strongly denied the report. The spokesman said: "the prime minister has not spoken to the British High Commissioner in this regard and the story is totally unfounded."
In a statement issued by the spokesperson of British High Commission said, "The story about a recent phone call between UK High Commissioner Adam Thomson and Prime Minister Gilani is untrue."
The HC further stated that "there has been no such call".
