Pak reactions over war criminal executions unexpected: foreign minister
Dhaka: Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali on Tuesday said there were unexpected reactions from Pakistan regarding the execution of convicted persons for their crimes against humanity during the Liberation War of 1971.
He also said some international organisations, being influenced by continuous propaganda carried out by the anti-liberation force, issued biased and one-sided statements about the war crimes trial in different times.
‘And this is not acceptable at all,’ UNB reported quoting the minister as saying during the Parliament session.
The minister said this while responding to a tabled starred question from Awami League lawmaker M Israfil Alam (Naogaon-6) in the House.
Mahmood Ali said the government’s stance is firm and clear about war crimes trial, establishing good governance and stopping the culture of impunity.
The Foreign Affairs Ministry always gives time-befitting answers to those negative propaganda, he said, adding that they have strongly warned those organisations that Bangladesh will never tolerate such statements and propaganda.
He said his ministry also advised those organisations to remain careful in giving statements on the internal affairs of Bangladesh in the future.
