Adopting a resolution in this regard, the general house meeting of the LHCBA on Tuesday also demanded that the government send back the Bangladeshi envoy from Pakistan and end diplomatic ties with it.
The bar approved a resolution filed by Mian Muhammad Raoof Advocate that termed Molla's execution as illegal and unconstitutional.
Raoof said the Bangladeshi government committed a crime by hanging a "great Muslim soul." The bar appreciated him and paid tribute to Molla, stating that he struggled to keep Pakistan united.
The resolution also condemned the government, accusing them of being silent on the issue. It demanded that the government take up the matter at international level and stop Bangladesh from hanging more people on the same charges.
Advocate Abdul Rasheed Qureshi alleged that India was behind the exectution. "After the formation of Pakistan, India had been in search of chances to damage Pakistan."
"Haseena Wajid hanged Molla to appease India," Anwar Ghumman Advocate alleged, warning that she could be expected to carry out more such acts in the future and that Bangladesh had negated the two nation theory by hanging Molla.
He stated that the lives of those individuals who have a soft corner for Pakistan, are in danger in Bangladesh.
"The government should raise the matter at an international level to protect the rest of the Bangladeshis who have love for Pakistan."

@Raj - USA: Excellent writing brother...
Are these the same lawyers who hug and put flower garlands around the neck of murderers and who free terrorists in all cases.
Where were these lawyers for the last 3 years when the trial was oing on? More importantly why do ou not speak up for those Pakistanis who are stranded in Banladesh and Pakistan refuse so let them return? If Molla Qadir had been allowed o return along wih the 3 million Pakistanis stranded in Pakistan, he wold nit have been hanged -would he?
@Lala Gee: What exactly were the heroic acts? Raping and killing?
pakistan is right. we will do whatever we can and whenever we can. we dont need to explain to any other country what resolutions we adopt. to the other pakistanis commenting negatively about pakistan, isnt there enough anti pakistan venom here coming from every other country of the world that you need to add your two bits. so they hanged somebody and we passed a resolution for show. WHO CARES???
Advocate Abdul Rasheed Qureshi alleged that India was behind the exectution.
What a funny statement!!!.Must be one of the advocates who garlanded Governor Taseer's murderer.Why don't these advocates work to bring the terrorists in Pakistan to justice. But that takes courage that these cowards don't have.
Bangladesh hanging is just like Pakistan Bhuttos hanging. Next 30 years troublesome for Bangladesh
Go ahead, shoot yourself in the foot! I am sure LHCBA bigwigs have ample explanation and answers if the International Court wants to review war crimes against Pakistan military!
When we were all Indians we were looking toward Ottoman Empire and not our own homeland. When we made Pakistan we are still looking at S. Arabia and other Arab countries that have no human rights, modernity, democracy and freedom and very different system than our own. We love rich Arabs who treat us worse than their hunting animals let alone give us basic human rights and dignity. We hate western countries which give us equal rights and dignified lives. We love unknown Muslims in faraway lands like Burma without knowing much about them. However, we are up in arms against our close neighbor particularly Muslim neighbors! We never had good cordial relationships with Afghanistan in our 60 plus years of history. We never had good relationships with our Bengali brothers when they were Pakistanis. We are Shia Iran’s friends only if it benefits us. Even Iran does not want to have open borders with Pakistan for the fear of terrorism. We do not care about the Muslims persecuted in China and we love the oppressors and the list goes on and on.
Abdul Qadir Molla must be given the Soul of Pakistan award for his heroic acts in East Pakistan during 1971.

(1) Pakistan thinks that Indian muslims are traitors to India and will support and side with Pakistan in any conflict between India and Pakistan.
(2) Pakistan thinks Afghan's are traitors to Afghanistan and will support and side with Pakistan in any conflict between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
(3) Pakistan thinks that Bangladeshis are traitors to Bangladesh and will support and side with Pakistan in any conflict between Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Strangely, Pakistan also thinks that its own hindu, christian, ahmedi and shia population are traitors of Pakistan. So, they kill their own shias and ahmedis and convert their own hindus and christians. These same Assembly, Parliament, courts, lawyers and even the chief justice of Pakistan and its media support and promote conversions of hindu girls by rape as can be seen from the way they all handled Rinkles case and even its muslim woman support and encourage their muslim men to kidnap hindu girls, bring them to their homes, rape them there and also provide cover for such acts. When the lawyers, and more importantly the woman of the society fall to such lows, and do not even want to make an introspection or inspect their past acts, can this country ever improve morally? This is the reason, I am, at this stage, against the people to people contacts or aman ki asha and think that the time has not come yet. A lot of ground needs to be covered by Pakistanis and their institutions and government before we start to move in that direction.
Pakistan does not trust its muslims even and think some shall support and side with the saudis and others shall be with Iran.
Bangladesh is a fiercely independent country and are not stooges of India. They refused to sell their gas to India as they wanted to preserve it for their future generations, they did not allow gas pipeline from Myanmar to India through their territory and they have not yet agreed to land swap deal with India though India has been saying that it is more to the advantage of Bangladesh. Also, China and not India is developing their Chittagong port. Bangladeshis have cultural attachment to Bengal in India and many Bangladeshi migrants are Ministers in West Bengal government. But even after this, when it comes to their interests, they take their own decisions independently in the interests of their population.
“Haseena Wajid hanged Molla to appease India”
Truer words have not been spoken. It is obvious to all the Muslim countries.
People on this forum need to study history, rather than post nonsense. Most people have no clue of what happened beyond chastising Pakistan for everything; mistakes in this debacle were made from both sides and an enemy exploited the rift.
It is sad to see ET moderators allow such comments all the time while refusing to post comments that do not fall in line with their thinking. That is not freedom of speech, rather censorship at its worst.
what about the freaking rights of our OWN citizens, the minorities who we constantly abuse socially, judicially and economically? lawyers are a joke in pak. probably worse than all the robbers since at least with robbers, you expect bad from them. from lawyers, you expect something smart....
Strange thing, why putting hand in someone else's affairs.
It was Pakistan, WAS , Move on and correct ourselves.
I dare them to do that. Doing that would give a license to the other countries to raise terrorism and other issues against Pakistan in all the world forums. Pakistan hanged its first elected PM despite all three smaller province judges of SC writing dissenting opinions. We are a country where high treason by generals has no penalty, where hosting OBL and lying about it to the world has no consequences, losing and surrendering half of the country and genocides have no consequences and not a single report on any of these is ever published yet we want the world body to try the case of one Bengali Mullah? The ICJ is for bigger and better issues not petty matters of one man’s life that had a long history of treason against his homeland. Those who love Mullah and want the full facts out should demand the release of Humood Rehman Commission Report. All rightwing forces are sitting on this report just like Abbottabad report to hide facts and continue to talk nonsense.
Of course. After all, our country has overcome all its problems and we are known around the world for delivering speedy and fair justice, and therefore now need to poke our nose on other countries' businesses :)
These lawyers need to get their bottoms back in their offices and courts and start working for their own country first. There are enough "Muslim souls" to be saved in Pakistan first.
