Pakistan withdraws official from High Commission in Dhaka - bdnews24.com

Pakistan has withdrawn an official from its High Commission in Dhaka after Bangladesh intelligence found his involvement in criminal activities including terror financing.

The High Commission has notified the foreign ministry that one of its attaché Mohammad Mazhar Khan left Dhaka with his family on Jan 31.

Khan was also an agent of Pakistan's secret service ISI and was engaged with large scale forgery of Indian currency, recent media reports suggested. He was removed after Dhaka asked the Islamabad to do so, a foreign ministry spokesperson told bdnews24.com.

"Pakistan government has withdrawn him following our report that he is engaged in criminal activities. He was also arrested by our agencies," the spokesperson said. They (High Commission) notified us that he left on Jan 31," the spokesperson said. He clarified that "Mazhar was not a diplomat but an official in the High Commission". Pakistan High Commission could not be reached immediately for comments.

According Bangladesh media reports, Khan with some of his colleagues at the high commission used to route funds to Hizb ut-Tahrir, Ansarullah Bangla Team and the Jamaat-e-Islami. As an ISI agent, he was reportedly also involved in anti-state subversive activities during his more than two years stay in Dhaka. He was detained by Banani police on Jan 12 with one of his accomplices while having a secret meeting. He was released soon after when a Pakistani diplomat Samina Mahtab intervened. But his accomplice Mujibur Rahman, who remained in police custody, divulged some details of his currency forgery racket.

It is not unusual for Pakistani nationals -- and officials under diplomatic cover -- to be engaged in criminal activities particularly in militants in Bangladesh. Police arrested four Pakistani as suspected militants in Nov last year from Chittagong.

These guys try to create a nuisance where ever they go.

Pakistani diplomat expelled from Dhaka - Pakistan - DAWN.COM

ISLAMABAD: In a fresh diplomatic row between Pakistan and Bangladesh, a Pakistani High Commission official based in Dhaka was declared persona non grata by the Bangladeshi government and was asked to leave the country. "Diplomatic official Mazhar Khan was charged by Bangladesh's foreign ministry of running an illegal Indian currency business in Dhaka beside alleged links with militants," a diplomatic source told Dawn.com. Foreign Office Spokesperson Tasneem Aslam also confirmed the incident and said the official has reached Islamabad. "Allegations against him are baseless and the incident is unfortunate," she told Dawn.com.

The Pakistan High Commission in Dhaka sent Mazhar Khan immediately home after getting orders from Bangladesh's ministry of foreign affairs. Sources also said the high commission in Dhaka has not only been under pressure due to the incident but is also being closely watched by Bangladeshi secret services. Relations between the two countries have recently been at a low point.

In January, Bangladeshi police arrested four suspected members of Islamic State in Dhaka including a regional coordinator for the militant group who told police they had been trained in Pakistan. Tensions have also risen between the two countries over executions carried out by the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina against alleged war criminals from the 1971 war, when the former East Pakistan became Bangladesh.

In December 2013, Pakistan's envoy in Dhaka had been summoned by the govt regarding a resolution adopted by the Pakistani parliament condemning the execution of Jamaat leader Abdul Quader Molla for his involvement in alleged war crimes of 1971.

Bangladesh's foreign ministry had said that Molla's trial and punishment was the country's internal affair and that the resolution adopted by Pakistan's National Assembly was uncalled for.
Pakistan's high commissioner in Dhaka, Mian Afrasiab Mehdi Hashmi Qureshi had been summoned to explain the matter. Pakistan's armed forces are alleged to have carried out war crimes in1971 and the Bangladesh government has been seeking a public apology from Pakistan which is yet to abide by the demand of its South Asian neighbour officially.
