Pakistan may summon envoy of Bangladesh

Pakistan has decided to summon Bangladesh's envoy in Pakistan to lodge a protest and convey Islamabad's concerns over the recent execution of two war criminals -- Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed and Salauddin Quader Chowdhury.

MNA Sheikh Aftab Ahmad, ruling party lawmaker of Pakistan, made this comment at the National Assembly on Wednesday, The Express Tribune, a news portal of the country, reported yesterday.

The announcement came a day after Pakistani lawmakers unanimously decried “the flawed war crimes trials” of the opposition leaders in Bangladesh and urged the Pakistani government to take up the matter in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the Pakistani news portal added.

The Daily Star was unable to find any other source claiming this information.

Earlier, Dhaka reacted sharply to a statement from Islamabad on the execution of the two war criminals and summoned the Pakistan high commissioner in Bangladesh for lodging a formal protest.
