Ahmed, who arrived in the United Kingdom in the late 1960s, was among nine men from Rochdale and Oldham convicted of exploiting girls as young as 13 at two takeaway restaurants.
Andrabi stated that Ahmed’s “heinous crimes demand serious introspection rather than the quest to search for extraneous causes.”
He remarked: “The matter in question is entirely an internal matter of the United Kingdom.
“The individual concerned is a British national who spent his entire adult life in the UK and was duly convicted by a British court for reprehensible offences committed on British soil.
“Any decision regarding his release, supervision of usual legal status, falls exclusively within the jurisdiction of the competent British authorities and must be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom.
“Regardless of where he was born, the onus lies on where he grew up, was raised, groomed, and unfortunately spoiled.”
He added: “The government of Pakistan has no connection whatsoever with this matter.
“We cannot be associated with any decisions relating to the individual’s release or subsequent treatment under the British law.”
Ahmed was sentenced to 22 years in prison and released on licence this month.
Victims of the gang were informed that provisions under the Immigration Act 1971 prevented the removal of any Commonwealth citizen who arrived in the UK before 1973 and had resided in the country for five years.
Under the UK government’s proposed amendment, foreign criminals would no longer benefit from these protections where they are guilty of certain serious crimes.
This would align deportation law with the law governing the removal of citizenship.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said this week that the 1971 Act provided safeguards for long-term UK residents but “should not be used as a bar against removal in cases like that of Shabir Ahmed”.
The Home Office has acknowledged that Ahmed’s removal depends on Pakistan accepting him.
After leaving prison, Ahmed was placed in 24-hour staffed accommodation and fitted with a GPS electronic monitoring tag.
While he remains in the UK, the government has said he would be returned to prison if he breaches a series of strict licence conditions.
Some of his victims said they were “frightened” and felt “unsafe” at his release.
Andy Burnham, who is expected to replace Sir Keir Starmer as prime minister, has described Ahmed as a “vile criminal” whom he wants deported.
