The National Assembly of Pakistan has again passed a unanimous resolution strongly condemning the execution of condemned war criminals and Jamaat-e-Islami leaders in Bangladesh. The resolution was passed on Wednesday, four days after top Jamaat financier Mir Quasem Ali was hanged for committing crimes against humanity during the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971. The resolution moved by Sher Akbar Khan said the execution of Jamaat leaders is contrary to the tripartite agreement signed by Pakistan, India and Bangladesh in 1974. Earlier on Sunday, the External Affairs Ministry of Pakistan also condemned the execution. Pakistan had earlier issued similar statements after the execution of war criminals.
