ISLAMABAD, October 4: The government on Thursday decided to appoint new High Commissoner in UK replacing Sahibzada Ahmad Khan for behaving ‘inappropriately’ during the IPPA Awards 2018.
According to Dunya News sources, Foreign Office has decided to transfer Pakistani High Commissioner to the UK Sahebzada Ahmed Khan to another country after holding an inquiry which found that the high commissioner had broken diplomatic norms at a public event in London.
Sources further said that Johar Saleem, Naghmana Hashmi and Zaheer Janjua are being considered for the post. Earlier in September, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi had recalled high commissioner Sahebzada Ahmed Khan to Islamabad to explain his behaviour at a television awards ceremony in London after videos emerged showing him making a speech in an apparently inebriated condition. – Agencies
