Reaction to the Execution of the Jamaat-e-Islami Leader in Bangladesh

We have taken note of the execution of the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami leader Mr. Muhammad Kamaruzzaman. As stated earlier, we have also noted the comments by the international community on the ongoing trials in Bangladesh. We are carefully monitoring the situation with regard to internal developments in that country.

As a fellow Muslim country and SAARC member, Pakistan has mutually beneficial relations with the people of Bangladesh. Our people struggled together for independence from the colonial rule. In our view, values of reconciliation, harmony and forward looking approach should guide us towards the future of peace and Prosperity. Pakistan wishes progress, harmony and prosperity for the people of Bangladesh.
