It may be noted that the PTI had urged the interim prime minister to immediately withdraw notification regarding appointment of Ali Jahangir Siddiqui as Pakistan’s ambassador to the US.
In a May 29, 2018, letter, PTI’s Information Secretary Fawad Chaudhry said Siddiqui’s appointment on the “world’s most important diplomatic post was an attempt to murder the national interest”.
It had claimed that the former’s political allegiance and affiliation with Sharif family and business relations with PM Abbasi’s family played a role in the appointment.
It had also pointed out mega corruption cases against Ali Jahangir Siddiqui.
