Srinagar: A day after a Jamaat-e-Islami leader was executed for genocide in Bangladesh, hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani Friday described Pakistan as "extremely ungrateful" for acting as a "mute spectator".
"Jamaat-e-Islami leaders are being tried and executed (in Bangladesh) because of their love and loyalty for Pakistan and on the other hand the Pakistan regime acted as mute spectator," Geelani said in a statement here.
Bangladesh's Supreme Court yesterday upheld the death sentence for top Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abdul Quader Mollah, infamous as the "Butcher of Mirpur", for 1971 war crimes.
