Dhaka has asked Islamabad to refrain from interfering in Bangladesh's internal affairs like trial of crime against humanity in 1971 and stop misinterpreting 'Bangladesh, India and Pakistan Tripartite Agreement' signed in April 1974. "We never welcome anybody's interference in our internal affairs. But, they (Pakistan) are doing this despite giving them repeated reminders," said State Minister for Foreign Affairs M Shahriar Alam here today. The state minister's comments came when a group of journalists sought his reaction on Islamabad's statement following dismissal of review petition of Jamaat-e-Islami leader Matiur Rahman Nizami by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court upholding his death sentence for crime against humanity in 1971. The Pakistan foreign ministry, in a statement on Friday, expressed concern over dismissal of war criminal Nizami's review petition. The statement was published in English daily the Dawn yesterday. Expressing disappointment over Islamabad's statement, Shariar Alam said those who are being tried are the citizens of Bangladesh. The tripartite agreement never says that Bangladesh would not be able to hold trial of Bangladeshi citizens who committed crimes against humanity during the country's War of Liberation in 1971. "The 1974 tripartite agreement mentioned that only 195 Pakistani war criminals, who were sent back to Pakistan won't be tried," Alam said accusing Pakistan for presenting a distorted version of the agreement. He said Pakistan is saddened for them as the criminals who committed crimes against humanity in 1971 are working on behalf of Pakistan. "I find this as a serious issue as these war criminals are trying to give impression to the future generation that Pakistan as a state will stay beside them...Otherwise, why Pakistan is so saddened by Nizami's death penalty?" he questioned.
