Pakistan officially responds to the remarks made by Bangladeshi PM Hasina Wajid against it

ISLAMABAD - The Foreign Office (FO) has responded back to the remarks made by the Bangladeshi PM Sheikh Hasina Wajid.

Pakistan Foreign Office condemned 'anti-Pakistan' statements issued by Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajid earlier this week.

Wajid had, during a march 25 address, said that the people of Bangladesh "must respond to those who have been lost in their love for Pakistan".

"They must be punished. We must make them forget their love for Pakistan," she had said.

FO Spokesperson Dr Muhammad Faisal during a weekly briefing in Islamabad today described Wajid's remarks as being against the spirit of the 1974 tripartite agreement.

Under the 1974 tripartite agreement, Dhaka had agreed not to proceed against those whom it had accused of ‘war crimes’ during the 1971 separation.
