PESHAWAR (National Times) Afghan Consulate officials demonstrated extreme indecency and gross violation of diplomatic protocols at a ceremony in Peshawar today.

Officials of the Afghan Consulate were invited by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur to the Rahmat-ul-lil-Aalameen Conference in Peshawar.

Afghan Consul General Mohibullah Shakir remained seated during Pakistan’s national anthem, blatantly disregarding diplomatic protocol and shamelessly sitting in his seat.

By not respecting the national anthem, Afghan Consul General Mohibullah Shakir declared that he has no respect for Pakistan and the Pakistani nation.

The actions of Consul General Shakir may add further strain to an already fragile relationship.
