Bangladesh - Pakistan envoy summoned

The government has summoned Pakistan high commissioner to Bangladesh for the country’s statements on Bangladesh war criminals’ execution, said a senior diplomat.
The official who spoke on condition of anonymity told the Dhaka Tribune on Sunday that Pakistan High Commissioner to Bangladesh Shuja Alam has been summoned by acting foreign secretary Mizanur Rahaman.
The Pakistan envoy has been directed to meet Ministry of Foreign Affairs at 2:30pm on Monday, the diplomat said. 
Earlier, Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted over war criminals and BNP leader Salauddin Quader Chowdhury and Jamaat-e-Islami secretary general Ali Ahsan Muhammad Mojaheed’s execution.
“Pakistan is deeply disturbed at this development,” said the spokesperson of the Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement on the execution published on Sunday.
It said there is a need for reconciliation in Bangladesh in accordance with the spirit of Bangladesh, India and Pakistan Agreement of 9th April 1974.
“The Agreement calls for a forward looking approach in matters relating to 1971. This would foster goodwill and harmony,” the statement mentioned.
