In a statement in Islamabad on Friday‚ the minister said even after passing of 42 years to the events of 1971‚ executing Abdul Quader Molla is very unfortunate and tragic step and some circles are declaring it a judicial murder.

He said till the very end before creation of Bangladesh‚ he remained supporter of a united Pakistan and on Friday every Pakistani is saddened and grieved on his death.
Nisar said it was demand of international relations‚ solidarity of Islamic ummah and wisdom that conditions and events of the past should be put behind and a new era should be started. But with this unfortunate incident‚ an effort is made to revive old wounds of the past.

He said it would have been better if the Bangladeshi government had shown farsightedness‚ large heartedness and magnanimity instead of opening old wounds.
