Pakistan-Bangladesh 'spy' row: Expelled diplomat leaves for DhakaIndian intel gave lead on Pak female diplomat

The government intelligence agencies had been tracking Pakistani female diplomat Fareena Arshad for about a year after getting hints from the Indian government about her alleged involvement in aiding militants, a senior government official said.
Indian intelligence agencies had been bugging Fareena’s communications and provided Bangladesh authorities clues to her activities here, the official said.
Bangladesh’s law enforcing agencies had also collected ‘huge information’ about her involvement in ‘undiplomatic’ activities, the official claimed.
Pakistan withdrew Fareena, a second secretary (political) of its High Commission, from Dhaka on Wednesday. The mission informed the foreign ministry about her departure after she left Dhaka in a PIA flight Wednesday afternoon.
Pakistan, which was apprehending that Bangladesh might declare Fareena persona-non-grata (PNG), had no alternative but to withdraw her from Dhaka for keeping diplomatic tensions between the two capitals low, another government official said.
A senior Pakistani diplomat recently gave hints to a senior Bangladeshi diplomat at the capital of a neighbouring country that the country might ‘retaliate’ if Bangladesh declared Fareena PNG, an official said.
Fareena was the second staff of the Pakistan High Commission withdrawn from Dhaka this year complying with the desire of the Bangladesh government communicated informally by the foreign ministry.
On December 15, home affairs minister Asaduzzaman Khan said they would take steps through the foreign ministry if allegations against a Pakistani diplomat of having links to militancy were proven.
Idris Sheikh, Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh operative, reportedly confessed to his link to the Pakistani diplomat before a Dhaka court two weeks ago.
On November 30, the Detective Branch of police arrested four operatives of banned militant outfit Jamaat-ul Mujahideen Bangladesh, including a Pakistan national, in Dhaka.
Arrested Idris Sheikh, Mokbul Sharif, Salam and Mostofa Jaman were linked to Pakistan-based militant outfits, detectives claimed.
They all used to maintain contact with a female diplomat of a high commission in Dhaka, Dhaka Metropolitan Police joint commissioner (Detective Branch) Monirul Islam said earlier at a briefing without disclosing the names of the mission and the diplomat.

Yeah, this was the shit that I was telling you the other day. I think this Pakistani disease can only be cured with an Ayurvedic solution. Take a plump cactus plant and stuff it up Pakistan's anus. We all know that cactus has medicinal properties.
@Indx TechStyle Do sickulars believe in Ayurveda or do you consider medicinal plants to be communal Hindu plants?
