Pakistan’s deputy prime minister and foreign minister, Mohammad Ishaq Dar, tells UK minister Ed Miliband during their first meeting that Pakistan will not accept Shabir Ahmed’s return, according to reporting. The discussion is described as taking place on Thursday.
The sources frame the exchange as part of ongoing discussions connected to Ahmed, who is linked by UK coverage to the Rochdale grooming case. While the Daily Mail focuses on Dar’s message that Pakistan would not take him back, other details of the broader diplomatic context and any UK response are not included in the provided text.
Overall, the accounts agree on the core point: Pakistan communicates a refusal to accept Ahmed, conveyed directly to Miliband at the outset of their engagement. No information is presented here about the specific reasons given, whether other countries or legal mechanisms are being considered, or what further steps follow the meeting.
