| [Pak Daily Times] The Foreign Office has said that Bangladesh is our neighbouring Islamic country and Pakistain wants to strengthen ties with it. In a statement, the Foreign Office front man said that both Pakistain and Bangladesh should avoid a blame game and try to strengthen their relations further. A day after the National Assembly passed a resolution condemning the execution of Jamaat-e-Islami ... The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independentbranch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... Bangladesh leader Abdul Qader Molla, Bangladesh's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday summoned Pakistain's top envoy in Dhaka to register its protest. "This House expresses deep concern on hanging of a veteran politician of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh for supporting Pakistain in 1971," the National Assembly resolution said. The House expressed grief and sorrow with the bereaved family and demanded avoiding revival of the wounds of 1971 and asked for amicably resolving cases against Bangladeshi leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami. Mollah was executed on Thursday for genocide during Bangladesh's 1971 liberation war, hours after the Supreme Court rejected his review petition. Pakistain's High Commissioner Afrasiab Mehdi Hashmi was summoned on Tuesday evening to meet Foreign Secretary Mostafa Kamal. |
