Is Moeed Yusuf tipped as Pakistan’s High Commissioner to India?

ISLAMABAD – Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on National Security Division and Strategic Policy Planning Dr Moeed Yusuf has rebutted news assertions fabricating his nomination consideration as high commissioner to India.

In a tweet on Thursday, the SAPM mentioned the link to The News story, saying: "I know its too much to ask for a news story to be fact checked before publication these days. But at least the story shouldn't defy all logic. It is totally made up and baseless.
