Pakistan wishes ‘peace’, ‘normalcy’ in Bangladesh

Pakistan expressed its solidarity with the people of Bangladesh on Wednesday, praying for peace and normalcy in their current condition of things, as the country witnessed a historic revolt that has overthrown more than 10 years of Sheikh Hasina’s administration.
“The Government and people of Pakistan stand in solidarity with the people of Bangladesh, sincerely hoping for a peaceful and swift return to normalcy,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in a statement.
The FO went on to say that Pakistan is optimistic about the “harmonious future” for Bangladeshi people because of their “resilient spirit and unity.”
Following student-led protests over government hiring practices in July, anti-government rallies in Bangladesh came to an end on Monday when “autocratic” prime minister Hasina fled to India.
