ISLAMABAD ( MEDIA REPORT )
Foreign Office has summoned the Bangladeshi envoy to receive a marcher over the language of Dhaka’s protest note in wake of controversial video.
“In order to register our protest on the use of undiplomatic language in a Note Verbale, on an incident of obscure origin, the High Commissioner of Bangladesh in Islamabad was summoned by Director General (South Asia &Saarc) to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” the FO said in a statement.
The video clip, which was posted on the Facebook account of the Pakistan High Commission in Dhaka, contained Mujeebur Rehman’s interview that suggested he wanted autonomy not separation from Pakistan. The clip annoyed the Bangladesh government, which rejected it as a distortion of history.
A diplomatic protest note that was handed over to Pakistan’s High Commissioner in Dhaka by the host foreign ministry contained undiplomatic assertions, according to the FO. While the entire letter was laced with inconsiderate comments, the harshest was probably a reference to the events of 1971.
