Anti-Pakistan protests continue in Bangladesh
DHAKA: Anti-Pakistan protests continued for the second consecutive day here on Thursday.
Protesters outside the Pakistan High Commission in Dhaka called for an end to diplomatic ties with Islamabad. Chanting slogans against Pakistan, the protesters called upon the Bangladeshi government to sever diplomatic ties within 20 hours. They warned that if ties were not severed, the Pakistan High Commission would be stormed.
During the protests, several people were injured during clashes with police.
On Wednesday, protesters burnt the Pakistani flag, effigies of PTI chairman Imran Khan and tried to enter the Pakistan High Commission in Dhaka. Protests in Bangladesh started taking place after the National Assembly passed a resolution against the execution of Abdul Quader Mollah.
Reacting to the protests, PTI Chairman Imran Khan said the anger of the Bangladeshis’ over the military operation was justified but the execution of Mollah was wrong.
