ISlAMABAD :. Ahmad Qureishi , an anchorperson of state -run Pakistan Television (PTV) ,who was part of an ex-Pat Pakistanis group that visited Israel some two weeks ago, was fired from service on Monday.
Information minister , Maryam Aurangzeb, announced firing of Ahmed Qureishi, from PTV as anchor over his visit to Israel.
.Ahmad Qureshi ,according to some media reports, travelled to Israel with some US based Pakistanis and met with Israel,’s president .
The visit of ex Pats Pakistanis group to Israel left the newly formed the government in trouble . It also got fierce reaction from public which demanded a thorough investigation into the matter and explain as to who allowed the group to travel to Israel in sheer violation of declared government policy. Israel is the only country which has been tagged as no go destination in Pakistan’s green passport . Ahmad Qureisi’s inclusion in the group in debate not only put the Shahbaz government in hot waters as its political opponent , Imran Khan, and his party had opened a new front to attack it alleging it indirectly facilitated the visit of the controversial Pakistani group to Israel . The people of Pakistan also raised questions as they do not want any Pakistani including expats to visit Israel to which they take as a usurper of Palestine land . Pakistani nation takes Israel as a country which does not miss any opportunity to harm it . Historically , Israel sides with India in any hostile situation between the the two nuclear arch rivals. It could be February 27, 2020 when Pakistan had a dog fight with India over intrusion of the latter’s fighter jets in its apace or some other war like situation . Israel is among those countries which made more than one attempt to attack Pakistan’s nuclear programme . Israel has a strong but true feelings that Pakistan always stands with its enemy.. Palestine and it needs to be punished for it. Pakistan also considers Israel as its subtle enemy and always remains vigilant of its moves. In such a situation , the visit of ex-Pats to Israel and inclusion of an anchor of the state run television is of course indigestable for Pakistan and Pakistani nation.
