Pak removes minority economist following Islamist objections
Pakistan has removed an economist from Prime Minister Imran Khan-led Economic Advisory Council, following objections by Islamist hardliners as he belonged to the minority Ahmadiyya community. Atif Mian, a renowned economist, is a professor at US' Princeton University. Pakistan's Information and Broadcasting Minister Chaudhry Fawad Hussain justified the move, stating it was to avoid division.
