May appoints British-Pakistani as new home secretary

British Prime Minister Theresa May appointed Sajid Javid as the new Home Secretary on Monday after the previous interior minister Amber Rudd quit over the treatment of some long-term Caribbean residents wrongly labeled illegal immigrants.

Javid, 48, a former managing director at Deutsche Bank, was previously Communities and Local Government Secretary.

Javid is not the first British-Pakistani to join the UK government. Earlier, mayor of London, Sadiq Khan has also his origin from Pakistan.
