The Pakistan High Commission, Dhaka has strongly condemned the utterly baseless media reports appearing in the local press, maligning a female diplomat stationed in Dhaka.
It has been learnt that the “story” was leaked to the press by the Detective Branch of the police, and a section of the press published the same, without any verification worth the name, said a press release of the Pakistan High Commission.
All diplomatic norms and courtesies have been thrown to the wind by publishing fabricated details of an imaginary “sinister plot” to destabilise the host country.
To our utter shock and dismay, the photograph of the said officer has also been recklessly published by the media and vulgar insinuations have been made regarding her character.
It is not only a despicable attempt at character assassination but also endangers the security of the officer.
This is the last thing that is expected to happen in a brotherly Muslim country.
Pakistan would like to reiterate the fact that a strong and prosperous Bangladesh can only add to Pakistan’s strength, rather than in any way, diminish it.
