Bangladesh summoned the Pakistani envoy here on Tuesday, a day after Pakistan’s Parliament adopted a resolution expressing concern over the execution of Jamaat leader Abdul Quader Mollah for 1971 war crimes.
The foreign office summoned Pakistan high commissioner Afrasiab Qureshi to protest the resolution passed in Pakistan’s National Assembly which expressed concern over Mollah’s execution.
“The Pakistani envoy has been summoned and the Secretary Bilateral Affairs Mr Mustafa Kamal is expected to hand over a protest note,” senior foreign office spokesman told PTI without giving details.
According to well-placed sources, the foreign ministry was likely to protest the strong-worded resolution, which was moved by Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan member Sher Akbar Khan and was adopted with a majority vote on Monday.
