MISSION IN CALCUTTA IS TAKEN OVER BY BANGALEES STAFF
The predominantly Bangalee staff of Pakistan s diplomatic mission in Calcutta took over the establishment today and transformed it into a mission of the newly proclaimed provisional government of Bangladesh.
The head of the mission, M Hossain Ali, hauled down the Pakistani flag and hoisted the Bangalee independence movement s green, red and gold standard as the Bangalee staff cheered.
It was the first Pakistani diplomatic mission to declare its allegiance to the government of Bangladesh since the Pakistani Army launched its attack in Bangladesh on March 25.
The Pakistani mission in Calcutta was a deputy high commission.
