Bangladesh halts visas for Pakistani nationals amid diplomatic impasse

DHAKA/ISLAMABAD:

Bangladesh
high commission in

Islamabad
has stopped issuing visas to Pakistani nationals for one week over a fresh diplomatic row, a Bangladeshi official said Tuesday, amid strained bilateral ties since 2013 when Dhaka decided to hang several of the 1971 war criminals.


The diplomatic row between Bangladesh and
Pakistan is on the rise since last year when Dhaka denied a visa to the Pakistan high commissioner.


"You can call it a sign of protest against the Pakistani gesture," a Bangladeshi foreign ministry official familiar with the development told PTI.


The foreign office in Dhaka, however, is yet to make any formal confirmation and no official notification has been issued on the halting of visas to the Pakistani nationals.


But the official, who preferred anonymity, said the Bangladeshi diplomat in charge of issuing visas refrained from processing the application by Pakistanis as Pakistani authorities had been sitting on his own official visa renewal application for the past four months.


Pakistani high commission in Dhaka is not processing his family members' visa applications, barring Bangladesh high commission's press and visa affairs councillor Iqbal Hossain from meeting his family, the official said.


"Issuance of any visa to Pakistani nationals remains suspended as the visa counter in Bangladesh High Commission in Islamabad has been closed since last Monday [May 13]," Dhaka Tribune quoted Hossain as saying.

The Bangladeshi councillor said they had informed the South Asia wing of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Pakistan.


According to the officials, Hossain is living in Islamabad with his daughter while his wife and son were in Dhaka.


No official in the Pakistani high commission was immediately available for comments over the impasse.


Pakistan apparently has delayed the renewal of the visa after Dhaka refused to accept the nomination of the new high commissioner of Pakistan to Bangladesh for over a year.


In March 2018, Pakistan Foreign Ministry proposed Saqlain Syedah as its new high commissioner to Bangladesh.


Bangladesh refused to accept Syedah's "agreement" (documents related to proposal of nomination) as Pakistan high Commissioner.


Six months later, Bangladesh verbally notified Pakistan that it cannot accept Syedah's nomination, and asked for an alternative nomination. Pakistan has not come up with any alternative nominations yet.

The row over the 1971 war criminals' trials visibly prompted Bangladesh not to clear the credentials of the proposed Pakistani high commissioner to Dhaka.

Syedah is now appointed as high commissioner to Kenya, according to an announcement by Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Monday.


According to a report in Pakistani media, the foreign ministry made a suggestion to Prime Minister Imran Khan to downgrade Bangladeshi mission in Islamabad as Pakistani mission in Dhaka was being run by a consular level officer.


Pakistan's national and provincial assemblies in recent years passed several resolutions while several of their ministers too issued statements protesting trial of the top 1971 collaborators of Pakistani troops in Bangladesh.


The move prompted the foreign office in Dhaka to summon repeatedly Islamabad's envoy to be handed down protest notes.


Five top collaborators of the Pakistani army, four being leaders of fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami which opposed the country's 1971 independence from Pakistan, have so far been executed after their trial in Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal.


The strained bilateral relations worsened in 2016 when Bangladesh forced Islamabad to take back three of its officials, including a woman diplomat, alleging their links to Islamist militants.


Diplomatic negotiations between the two countries are at a standstill for a few years now over Dhaka alleging Pakistani high commission of financing terrorist activities in the country.


Foreign secretary-level talks have not taken place between the two countries in the past four years now.

Great news Alhamdulilah. I am glad that we are being forced to cut ties with India and its proxies.

Somehow our politicians don’t have the courage, but our enemies are such that boycotting them is the only way to be protected from their evil.

Thank you for letting me know.

Trust me sheikh Hasina will be in power as long as she wants. No outsider can threw here away. Bangladesh is very much different country now, that you can't even imagine.

And also Hasina is not under control of India ( contrary to popular belief) , but this is another story, so irrelevant in this thread).

I’m not anti-Bangladeshi, but against the government of BD.

Basically we are fed up for being the scapegoat of every problem for Hasina.

It’s better to wait it out for the next government. Less problems between us.

Pakistan must totally shut down their embassy in Bangladesh no ones want to go Bangladesh under indian didi givt

Who is forcing you to go. U are free to close yr embassy in Bangladesh and also the Bangladeshi embassy in Pakistan. There is no need to drag India in your statement. We also know your relations with other countries Afgahnistan, Iran, Sri Lanka.

 

[Taimoor Khan]

Ur childish anger makes me laugh. Ur country should have realised better before disrespecting the diplomat of the fastest growing counties in the world. Now Pak will have to face the consequences.

No more entry of Pak people to do business in BD. It will make ur already miserable economy even more miserable. But what can be done? U'll reap what u sow. Pak have made a grave mistake by antagonising BD.

As for ending existence or whatever, we have made u surrender before, will do it again if need arises. I belive those 93k r still greatful to the forgivable nature of us. We might not feel that kind next time around. Be careful what u wish for. Hehe

Your pathetic rants are nothing but empty bravado.

Son, go and do your d|ck measuring contest with your equals. Like Myanmar, Bhutan, your immediate neighbours. Let me make it easier for you. We in Pakistan keep your sugadaddies, the New Delhi regime, firmly under our feet. You are way down the pecking order in this game of power play.

Like trump said to Iran, we in Pakistan can end your nationhood in the matter of minutes and make you a radioactive wasteland for next few thousands years. NO ONE, I repeat NO ONE will moan or shed tears for you, if that happened, you are that INSIGNIFICANT lot, with no input in geopolitics what so ever. Global power eventually drills down to the might is right rule. We in Pakistan do not even need to invade you miserable lot, just pushing buttons here and there will do the trick.

Difference of qibla, namaz, and peygamber.

For us, it is Makkah, to Allah, and Muhammad saws.

For them, it is India, slavery to Hindus, and Ravindranath Tagore.

What worse it could be then to have Hindu terrorists as their masters. LOL

And you have no might. You are a vikhari nation. Your destiny is to sing hamd naat in front of masjid and collect vikh. A pakistani vikhari having wet dreams again.

Momen rejects reported halt of visas for Pakistanis

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen today rejected media reports that Bangladesh halted visas for Pakistanis but acknowledged delays in issuing visas which he attributed to Islamabad authorities.

“The report should have appeared in the media in the reverse way,” he told a press conference at the ministry attributing the crisis to Islamabad’s inaction in issuing visas to Bangladeshi diplomats to be posted there. He added: “We have not stopped issuing visas to Pakistanis, but delays could happen in some cases which are common worldwide”.

Momen said Bangladesh high commission in Islamabad was exposed to manpower shortage affecting the processing of visas as the Pakistan authorities was delaying in issuing visa for Bangladesh’s newly appointed visa councilor in Islamabad.

Moreover, he said, Islamabad was not renewing the visa of the officer who was temporarily entrusted with the task of issuing visas.

“It is them (Islamabad) who exposed us to trouble . . . how could we issue visa unless we have our manpower to do that there,” Momen said.

The minister, however, said Dhaka was unwilling to develop any hitch with Pakistan and “we earlier contacted and still communicating with them to resolve our pending visa issues of our diplomats”.

Asked if there was any development over the acceptance of the credentials of Pakistan’s proposed envoy in Dhaka, Momen said Bangladesh earlier did not accept the Islamabad proposal for some reasons.

“This is a quite normal phenomenon (in diplomatic arena), if they propose someone new, we will definitely consider it,” he said.

Pakistan high commission does not have any envoy in Dhaka over a year.

I am showing you your place pak1. You are a vikhari, slaves of the Americans who droned your people and turned them into bug splats like no tomorrow. You could do nothing with your nukes, continued to be good slave and keep taking vikh from Americans. Just because a vikhari slave got a big mouth it doesn't uplift his status. Vikhari remains a vikhari, slave remains a slave. Don't bark like a dog, bring out those nukes and drop them on us. No balls just a big mouth, yeah?

I understand, but we should also limit our languages. Pakistan did stand by our side in 80's and 90's. They had good contribution in our defense, and its a defense forum not political podium. I hope you will understand.
