LONDON: British House of Lords member Baroness Pala Manzilla Uddin sternly opposed the condolence motion passed at Pakistan national assembly over execution of war crimes convict Quader Mollah.
The Bangladesh-origin British politician expressed her outrage in an interview with banglanews in London.
Baroness Pala Uddin told banglanews, “I am astonished with the news of Pakistan’s condolence resolution. Pakistan created an unprecedented incident by passing the resolution against the judicial system of a sovereign country (Bangladesh).”
