Bangladesh calls Pakistan envoy over remarks

‘We have summoned Pakistani High Commissioner today and protested in strongest words’

Dhaka: Bangladesh on Monday summoned Pakistan’s envoy to protest Islamabad’s "unacceptable" remarks over the executions of two top opposition leaders for war crimes during the 1971 war of independence against Pakistan.

“We have summoned Pakistani High Commissioner Shuja Alam today and protested in strongest words,” acting Foreign Secretary Mizanur Rahman said. “You’ve seen the Pakistani statement which is entirely unacceptable," Rahman said.

He said the envoy was served the summon immediately after the Pakistan foreign ministry said, voicing “deep concern and anguish” over the execution of Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid and Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury, 66.
