The appointment of a middle-ranking officer of the DMG as ambassador to France has been projected in some circles as a tussle between the Foreign Service of Pakistan and the DMG. It is not. The fact that Jehanzeb Khan belongs to the DMG is incidental. He could just as well have been from any other service group or from none at all. No one from the DMG, with the exception of former interior secretary Tasneem Noorani, has publicly sought to justify the appointment, apart from – not surprisingly – the man himself.
