War crimes trial: ‘Pakistan won’t comment’

Pakistan has said it would not make any comment on the war crimes trial process of Bangladesh in the future, reports the UNB.

Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the United Nations (UN) Masood Khan made the disclosure to Bangladesh Permanent Representative to the UN Dr AK Abdul Momen in New York.

On Saturday, State Minister for Foreign Affairs ShahriarAlam said the matter was confirmed by Bangladesh Permanent Representative the UN.

On December 16, the Pakistan National Assembly adopted a resolution expressing concern over Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abdul QuaderMolla, who was executed for his crimes against humanity during the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971.

The next day, foreign ministry of Bangladesh summoned the Pakistan High Commissioner in Dhaka and sought an explanation over the resolution.

Ganajagaran Mancha -- a youth movement – had staged protests condemning Pakistan’s resolution on the Molla execution.
