It claimed the execution of the Jamaat-e-Islami leaders was “contrary” to the tripartite agreement signed by Pakistan, India and Bangladesh in 1974. Pakistan had earlier issued similar statements after the execution of war criminals. The 'clemency' mentioned in the agreement never implied that the masterminds and perpetrators of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide would continue to enjoy impunity and eschew the course of justice, the foreign ministry earlier said. In no way had the 1974 Agreement given clemency to the Bangladeshi war criminals, including the members of Razakar, Al-Badr and Al-Shams, Dhaka added. Pakistan parliament earlier in 2013 had adopted a similar resolution denouncing the hanging of war criminal Abdul Quader Molla.
