Najam Interviewed on New British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak
In an appearance on Dawn TV‘s “NewsWise,” Adil Najam, Dean Emeritus and Professor of International Relations and Earth and Environment at Boston University’s Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, discussed Rishi Sunak, Britain’s first South Asian Prime Minister.
In his remarks, Najam said that while this is a major barrier broken in British politics, it is not, as some people are calling it, the United Kingdom’s Obama moment. “Rishi Sunsk may be many things,” Najam said. “Rishi Sunak is no Obama.”
