Reconsider diplomatic ties with Pakistan: Workers Party

The Workers' Party of Bangladesh yesterday demanded the government reconsider maintaining diplomatic relations with Pakistan, says a press release.

It also urged the government to try 195 identified Pakistani army officials for committing crimes during the Liberation War in 1971. An ally of Awami league-led alliance, the party made the demand a day after Pakistan's parliament condemned the execution of war criminal and Jamaat-e-Islam leader Mir Quasem Ali.
