Jatiya Sangsad will lodge its formal protest against Pakistan’s National Assembly’s resolution condemning the execution of Jamaat leader Abdul Quader Mollah for committing crimes against humanity during the war of liberation in 1971.Chief Whip of Bangladesh Jatiya Sangsad Vice Principal Abdus Shahid said this at a press conference at JS Media Centre on Wednesday.
He said Pakistan committed an unpardonable crime by adopting the resolution in support of the war criminal, who was executed on Thursday night.
The chief whip strongly condemned and protested the resolution adopted by Pakistan National Assembly on behalf of all lawmakers.
“We will convey a formal protest and condemnation on behalf of the Jatiya Sangsad after discussing the matter with the Speaker,” he said adding that along with Jaitya Sansad, the government is also taking necessary steps in this regard.
Abdus Shahid termed the incident of taking resolution condemning the execution of the war criminals a naked interference in internal affairs of an independent country and immoral and contrary to the diplomatic norms.
“We are protesting the incident on behalf of lawmakers as the 10th Parliament election is under process and session cannot be summoned,” he said.
The chief whip said the behaviour of Pakistan in no way is acceptable.
Replying to a question, he said the trails of war criminals are going on following the legal process and Quader Mollah was executed after completing the all legal process. ”The trials of rest war criminals will also be completed following the legal course. In that case, Pakistan has no right to interfere into the matter,” he added.
Whip ASM Firoz said the Pakistani armed forces committed heinous crimes by carrying out genocide on innocent Bangalis in 1971 and they repeated the same crime by adopting the resolution in its National Assembly.
“The Bangladesh people will never forgive them,” he added.
