worldUpdated: Aug 17, 2020 05:46 ISTIslamabad is abuzz with rumours that Pakistan foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi may be replaced with the human rights minister Shireen Mazari as the government tries to mend damaged relations with Saudi Arabia over the former’s remarks. “I am once again respectfully telling OIC that a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers is our expectation. Human rights minister Shireen Mazari publicly criticised the country’s foreign affairs ministry, saying it had let down both the Kashmiris and prime minister Khan. Her statement is being seen as a first step to replace Qureshi in a bid to pacify the Saudis. The statement by Mazari suggests that the Imran Khan government is publicly distancing itself from the actions and statements of foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
