Dhaka, Sept 4 (IBNS): Bangladesh on Sunday protested against the statement released by Pakistan following the execution of Jamat-e-Islami leader Mir Quasem Ali on Saturday.

According to reports, additional foreign secretary Kamrul Ahsan of Bangladesh foreign ministry conveyed the message on the matter to acting Pakistani High Commissioner Samina Mehtab here.

"A statement issued by Pakistan foreign ministry on Saturday over war criminal Mir Quasem Ali’s execution is a direct interference into the domestic affairs of Bangladesh,” Kamrul Ahsan was quoted as saying to journalist by The Daily Star.

In a major development, Jamaat-e-Islami’s key financier and a notorious Al-Badr leader of Chittagong during 1971 Mir Quasem Ali was hanged to death at a prison in Bangladesh on Saturday.

He was executed for crimes committed against humanity during the Liberation War.

He was sentenced to death two years ago.

The 63-year-old Jamaat-e-Islami leader was hanged from the noose at 10:30pm, Proshanto Kumar Banik, senior jail superintendent of Kashimpur Central Jail, was quoted as saying by The Daily Star.
