According to Express News correspondent, protesters gathered for the third consecutive time outside the building of the Pakistan High Commission in Dhaka on Friday.
Protesters were furious following the Bangladeshi PM Sheikh Hasina statement about Pakistan, stating that the government would resist any attempt by the opposition to create chaos. They demanded that all diplomatic relations with Pakistan should be cut in the next 20 hours.
Unless the Bangladesh government conceded their demands, they would damage the edifice of Pakistan High Commission.
In view of the fast deteriorating condition, the High Commission requested Bangladeshi authorities to boost security for Pakistani diplomats. The Foreign Office in Islamabad on Friday stated that diplomats in Dhaka have been instructed to restrict “unnecessary trips” out of High Commission premises.
Since the execution of Molla on December 12, Pakistan drew immense criticism from Bangladesh for its reaction over hanging of the JI leader. Earlier this week, the National Assembly adopted a resolution expressing concern over the execution of Molla.
The resolution was moved by Sher Akbar Khan of Jamaat-e-Islami. The resolution also expresses condolences with Bangladesh and the family of Molla.

Indians supporting terrorism in Bengladesh. No surprise there.
Bangladeshis are themselves protesting against this unfair trial and punishment, many even killed.

I think this should be a good reality check for pro-india bangladeshis and opportunist indians showing pakistan as sole condemner of this execution.
@Akash: Dear Indian, you worry about your diplomat being humiliated by US, this doesnt bother you
Let them protest. Waiting for our investors to return home!
Bangladesh has given shelter for about 3 lakh Pakistani in Geneva camp, Mohammadpur, Dhaka since 1971. These brothers want to go to Pakistan but Pakistan govt is not bringing them.
@Baloochi: India in Afghanistan, Karachi, Balochistan, Bangladesh, 1000 Embassies along Pakistan borders. Then why beg India for talks? Why Is GOP, ISI and the establishment all sleeping?
@Pakistani:: "just close the embassy and save our money'. Well it is only a matter of time. Once TTP takes over Pakistan, world countries will shut their Embassies in Pakistan.
@A: I think your country does not forget the defeat in 1971 by the hands of our own people.
@Akash:
Typical history and knowledge of an Indian. You should be deported from this site.
All Pakistanis should be deported from Bangladesh... oops! That has already been done... in 1971.
Seems like Pakistan is always worried about everyone else but themselves. The creation of an empire is a failed state that thinks it is an empire itself. Nothing like it in the world. Delusions of grandeur.
My perception is that Bangladesh wants to decide its own fate. They feel that Pakistan, and also India, are bullying them. This is turning them off from both the countries.
It's better for India and Pakistan to leave them alone. They can take care of themselves.
Awaiting @Dhaka to say something ridiculous here
@Pakistani: They are trying hard to please their masters in India. Bangladeshis with self respect also fighting against their government.
Just call the embassy staff back, we have nothing to do in Bangladesh anyways. Also, do not forget to deport bangladeshis from Pakistan we have sheltered them enough.
Straightforward solution: DEPORT all bangalis from Pakistan & close embassy
No we dont security in Bangladesh, just close the embassy and save our money Regards, 190 Million Pakistanis
You demanded it and you got it. When you poke your nose in someone's internal affairs, this is exactly what you get.
I said it earlier and would say it again. Bangladesh's government or Sheikh Hasina Wajid's Awami Legue or their political partners will not do anything to Pakistan's embassy other than holding protests. It can get out of hand only if JI in Bangladesh, or parties like JeI in Pakistan or Pakistan's government provokes the situation.
