[DAWN] PAKISTAN’S Foreign Office says Pakistain is "deeply saddened" by the execution in Bangladesh last week of Mir Quasem Ali...Jamaat-e-Islamic Central Committee member and Saudi money man in Bangla. Currently waiting to be hanged....
. Mir Quasem was found guilty in 2014 by a Bangladeshi court of torture, multiple murders and arson. He was sentenced to death after what Pakistain describes as "a flawed judicial process".
But why is Pakistain so worried about the integrity of Bangladesh’s judicial process? And why does our government care so greatly about the death of another country’s citizen -- one accused of heinous crimes? The answer: when it comes to Bangladesh, Pakistain remains chained to its past.
