Islamabad likely to expel Bangladeshi high commissioner

Author: Mateen Haider

Diplomatic row between Islamabad and Dhaka has escalated as Islamabad is considering expulsion of Bangladeshi high commissioner following Dhaka’s refusal to accept the Pakistani high commissioner.

Diplomatic sources told Daily Times that the Foreign Ministry in Islamabad had informed Prime Minister Imran Khan about the diplomatic row between the two countries and recommended the expulsion of the Bangladeshi High Commissioner to Pakistan Tarik Ahsan.

Pakistan’s high commissioner-designate to Dhaka Saqlain Syedah has been awaiting the agrement from Bangladesh’s Foreign Ministry since February 2018, but despite the passage of eight months Dhaka had not approved the nomination of the Pakistani high commissioner.

Sources said that the Foreign Ministry in Dhaka had not given any reason of not accepting the Pakistani high commissioner-designate.
