Pakistan retalitates : Expels Bangladeshi diplomat

Dhaka, Jan 7 (IBNS) In a swift reprisal, Pakistan has expelled a Bangladeshi woman diplomat, asking her to leave the country by Thursday, days after a Pakistani woman diplomat was sent back for having alleged links with a banned militant group.

Pakistan's Samaa TV reported that the Bangladeshi diplomat is  Moushumi Rahman, a counsellor and head of chancery in Islamabad.

Pakistan's foreign office was quoted as saying that the  Bangladeshi diplomat had been expelled for "violation of diplomatic norms".

On December 23, Pakistan recalled one of its diplomats from Bangladesh at Dhaka’s request, after she was alleged to have financed  the banned Jamayetul Mujahideen Bangladesh. .

Bangladesh on Wednesday deplored the Pakistani counter-action. "This appears to be a face-saving move in the part of Pakistan as it was forced to recall a diplomat of theirs..." state minister for foreign affairs Shahriar Alam said.
