Bangladesh asks Pakistan to apologies

A protest note which was related to the the 'misleading' video posted by Pakistan in its high commission Facebook page was issued to Pakistan by Bangladesh. Allegedly the video gave a wrong message that the country’s founder Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was not the one who declared its independence in 1971.

Secretary (Bilateral) Kamrul Ahsan summoned Pakistani high commissioner Rafiuzzaman Siddiqui this afternoon and handed him a “strongly worded protest note” warning that repeated breach of diplomatic norms by Pakistan would only stand to harm bilateral relations, a Foreign Office statement said.

"The Government of Bangladesh seeks a formal note of apology for this ill-motivated and misleading video post and calls for an immediate withdrawal of the footage from the Facebook page reportedly maintained by the Pakistan high commission in Dhaka,” it said.
