Ex-Pak envoy makes derogatory remarks about Sheikh Hasina
Staff Correspondent 8 October, 2018 12:00 AM


The immediate former Pakistani high commissioner to Bangladesh, Rafiuzaman Siddiqui, dared to disparage Prime Minister of Sheikh Hasina by making derogatory remarks about her.

He termed the Bangladesh prime minister anti-Pakistani and made arrogant comment on her.

Pakistani media outlet dailytimes.com on Sunday reported that the former Pak envoy made the derogatory remarks while commenting on a report that Dhaka has refused to accept the new Pakistani high commissioner to Bangladesh, Saqlain Syedah.
Referring to credible diplomatic sources, the Pakistani media reported that Dhaka has refused to accept the new Pakistani high commissioner.

The report said credible diplomatic sources told dailytimes that Islamabad was awaiting the agrement of its new high commissioner to Bangladesh.

The post of the high commissioner of Pakistan to Bangladesh went vacant after retirement of Rafiuzaman Siddiqui in February this year.

After the retirement of Siddiqui, Saqlain was designated as the new high commissioner to Bangladesh. She is PBS-20 officer of the foreign service of Pakistan.

Following the diplomatic procedures, the foreign office immediately sent nomination credentials of Saqlain to Bangladesh. But despite a number of reminders through note verbales Dhaka neither gave any response nor any reason, the report said.

When asked to comment, Saddiqui told dailytimes that the approval to agrement hardly takes a month.
“The delay is indeed a refusal of her acceptance by the Bangladesh government,” he added.

He said, “The reason is obvious… the foreign ministry in Dhaka can’t move without the approval of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.”

Siddiqui said the agrement might take more time, but the delay would not bode well for bilateral relations between the two countries, which are members of many international organisations, including UN, SAARC, OIC and Commonwealth.

In the recent past (2015-16), both Islamabad and Dhaka had expelled each other’s diplomats on various charges, the report concluded.

Following the derogatory remark about the prime minister, many diplomats and international affairs analysts expressed angry reactions to the arrogance of a Pakistani diplomat.

They asked the government to lodge protest through diplomatic channel against the arrogance and derogatory remark about Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

We don't have any advantage, thoughts, desires, or free time to interfere in BD matters.

Perhaps your govt does not think like the same way you are saying . Okay I will wait for the response for Pakistan authority!

No assurance will be enough, unfortunately

Agree. Not only assurance, but perhaps sincerely working together can solve this issue. Okay let's wait and watch.

I’m just asking if you think it’s good policy to overreact like that and paint all Pakistanis that way.

It can end badly for you, you are on a Pakistani forum.

I have painted that pakistani that way, not all pakistanis. Yeah, I know it's a Pakistani forum and the possibility of biased moderation, I take the risk. No issues, my internet activities are not limited to this forum, I spend time in other places too.

Also how does disagreeing with Hasina or belittling her make one Taliban?

You do know that probably 100% of Pakistanis and atleast 40% of BDis are anti-Hasina.

The 1971 trauma for pakistanis never seems to end. Hasina keeps exposing their wounds on a regular basis.
