Calls grew to suspend existing bilateral agreements until the repatriation dispute is resolved.
"We should be pausing the aid, pausing the visas, putting maximum pressure on the Pakistani government to take this man back," concluded Jenrick.
Further political factions supported immediate restrictions on visa approvals and financial allocations.
"Reform already announced a visa ban on Pakistan because of the number who have come illegally and the fact their government refuses to take them back," said Zia Yusuf, Reform UK’s home affairs spokesman.
Critics claimed that domestic policy failures have delayed essential criminal deportations for years.
"The Tories and Labour have given hundreds of millions in aid to Pakistan and a vast number of visas.
They have betrayed Britain.
Reform would scrap the aid and the visas until they took all their illegals back, including and especially the Rochdale monster," added Yusuf.
An anonymous government source noted that domestic legislative adjustments face fewer complications than bilateral negotiations.
"There is probably a way of solving the problem over the 1971 Immigration Act.
That is more solvable than the Pakistan side of the equation," said a Government source.
Pakistan's Position
In response, Pakistani authorities asserted that Ahmed is no longer a citizen under their jurisdiction due to a previous renunciation.
"There is discussion in the UK that the law may be changed to deport Shabir Ahmed – but to where?
He is not our national," said a minister in Pakistan.
The official highlighted Ahmed's extended duration of residency within the United Kingdom since his youth.
