ISLAMABAD: Hours after Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar expressed his grief and concern on Friday over the execution of Bangladeshi Jamaat-e-Islami’s leader in Dhaka, the foreign office in an official statement hoped that the spirit of reconciliation will prevail.

According to a statement released by the Foreign Office on Friday evening, it noted "Pakistan’s policy to interfere in the affairs of any country," events unfolding in Bangladesh were being closely followed.

“We wish the brotherly people of Bangladesh well and hope that spirit of reconciliation and an atmosphere, free of violence, will prevail.”

The statement added that concerns raised by the international community and human rights organisations on the way recent trials have been conducted, which have added to the current instability in Bangladesh, have also been noted.

Why is Pakistan trying to lecture Bangladesh on instability and reconciliation when it itself is itself is poisoned with terror, extremism, sectarianism, separatism and a deep state? It is Bangladesh's moral duty to bring the war criminals of 1971 to justice, and no matter what the bankrupt brotherhood of Pakistan and its allies (including the Turkish AK party and Gulf media) tell us, we will go ahead with these historic trials.

Pakistan should rather be fulfilling its pledge in Sima to hold the trials of the military culprits of 1971. Instead of burying history and preaching "reconciliation", try first learning from history, recognize the truth of 1971, that you committed the one the horrendous genocides of the 20th century, and apologize. You owe it to your fellow Muslims in Bengal, without whom your country would not have been even founded. Germany, Japan, Italy, Australia, France have all acknowledged and apologized for their historical crimes. If you cannot, then you should be occupied by a foreign power and forced to change your ways.
