The Pakistan National Assembly adopted a resolution, saying, “This House expresses deep concern on hanging of a veteran politician of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh for supporting Pakistan in 1971.”
The House expressed grief and sorrow with the bereaved family and demanded to avoid reviving the wounds of 1971 and amicably resolve cases against Bangladeshi leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami.
Shortly before the meeting, Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu told journalists that the foreign office would protest the Pakistan move and statement of Pakistan's Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan who said Mollah “was hanged through a judicial murder for supporting a united Pakistan in 1971”.
“The statement of the Pakistan National Assembly shows that the country has not corrected itself and moved away from its 1971 policy,” Inu said.
Denouncing the country's stance on the execution of war criminal Mollah, he said that Pakistan has acted beyond the diplomatic norms adopting the resolution.
