Siraj flays death sentence

LAHORE
Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq and Secretary General Liaqat Baloch strongly condemned the Bangladesh Supreme Court verdict confirming the death sentence awarded to JI Bangladesh Secretary General Wazir Ali Hasan Mujahid by the so-called war crimes tribunal.
In a joint statement on Tuesday, they stressed Pakistani government and the world community to exert their pressure for stopping the political vendetta going on in Bangladesh. They also urged Pakistani government to approach the world community for avoiding more bloodletting in the brotherly Muslim country.
The JIP leaders pointed out that Indian Prime Minister Modi had, during his visit to Dhaka, admitted Indian army’s role in the separation of East Pakistan. They urged the International Court of Justice to take suo motu notice of the whole matter and play its role to save the lives of thousands of innocent people in Bangladesh convicted on fictitious charges.
