LONDON: UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is facing criticism over efforts to deport Shabbir Ahmed, a British citizen convicted of child sexual abuse offences, to Pakistan.
According to reports, the move has sparked political controversy, with critics questioning the legality and appropriateness of attempting to deport a British national to another country.
The reports further state that the UK government has warned that if Pakistan refuses to accept the convicted individual, it could consider imposing various measures or restrictions in response.
Members of the British Pakistani community have criticized the government’s approach, alleging that the policy is intended to appeal to far-right political groups.
The controversy has intensified debate over immigration, citizenship, and the handling of convicted offenders in the United Kingdom.
No official response from the Pakistani government regarding the reported proposal was included in the source, and the matter remains the subject of political discussion in the UK.
