Ali Jahangir leaves for Washington take charge as ambassador

Ali Jehangir Siddiqui leaves for Washington today to take charge as ambassador to the US amidst objections from analysts and experts.

PM Abbasi recently appointed Ali Jahangir as ambassador to the US, a decision which received flak due to Ali’s inexperience and the personal basis of the PM’s decision.

Former foreign minister Sherry Rehman has said that Ali Jahangir’s one week charge of the post before the government ends is beyond comprehension.

Prof. Hasan Askari Rizvi said that Ali Jahangir Siddiqui might have to resign before assuming charge as the government is going to end soon.
