The Foreign Office stated on Monday that it is hopeful that the safe evacuation of the former Senator Mushtaq Ahmad will “successfully end within the next few days.”
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Pakistan’s foreign affairs works through his embassy in Amman tirelessly to secure the secure evacuation of former Senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan,” FO said in a statement.
“With the priceless assistance of the Jordanian government, we hope the process can be successfully completed within the next few days,” it added.
“We are deeply grateful to the fraternal government in Jordan for their exemplary cooperation and generous support.”
Earlier on Sunday, FO said in a statement that diplomatic sources in a friendly European country have confirmed that the former Jamaat-I-islami (JI) Senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan is safe and in the detention of Israeli occupation forces.
Ahmad was arrested by Israeli forces while on board the global Sumud-Flotilla, which confirmed on October 2nd. Ahmad led the five-member Pakistani delegation as part of the global Sumud Flotilla.
“We have been further advised that Ahmad, in accordance with local procedures, will be presented to a court. When issuing deportation orders, his repatriation will be facilitated on a fixed-track basis.”
According to the declaration, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already taken steps to secure the return of individuals separated from the flotilla in the initial phase.
In a post on X, Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, chief of Jamaat-I-islaami, confirmed his conversation with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and said he had called on the prime minister to “speed up the effort” to release and improve Mushtaq Ahmad Khan.
