Humza Yousaf has made history by becoming Scotland’s first Muslim First Minister.
Yousaf has ignited considerable curiosity in Pakistan as to his roots and political inclinations.
Digging deep, we found a very old tweet of Humza and it seems like he had been an admirer of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan. In 2012, the newly-elected Scotland leader attended Khan’s jalsa and met him.
He wrote: “Great rally amazing energy at Imran Khan rally and very good meeting with him afterward.”
Recently, when Imran congratulated Humza on being elected, Scotland’s First Minister ignored the tweet, however, he replied to current Foreign Minister (FM) Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari instead.
The minister wished him well saying, “Wishing you all the best for your term in Bute House and looking forward for strong partnership in the domains of trade, investment, culture and education.”
In response, Humza mentioned that “Pakistan will always have a special place in his heart”.
“Scotland’s relationship with Pakistan is a friendship that has blossomed through many generations, I look forward to it growing stronger, ” he added.
