ISLAMABAD: Pakistan reacted furiously to the execution of Bangladesh Jamaat-i-Islami’s chief Motiur Rahman Nizami over his role in the events of 1971, with the Foreign Office noting that his only crime was his loyalty to Pakistan before the secession of its eastern wing.
“Pakistan is deeply saddened over the hanging of the emir of Jamaat-i-Islami Bangladesh, Mr Motiur Rahman Nizami, for the alleged crimes committed before December 1971. His only sin was upholding the constitution and laws of Pakistan,” the FO said in a statement on Wednesday.
