Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar instructed Pakistan's High Commissioner in Dhaka, Syed Maroof, to ensure the safety of Pakistani students amid ongoing protests in Bangladesh on wednesday.

Dar urged Maroof to collaborate closely with local authorities for their protection, reports Dawn.

Bangladesh ordered an indefinite closure of schools following the deaths of six students as protests over government job quotas escalated into violent clashes, necessitating the deployment of paramilitary forces to maintain order.

Dar, also the deputy premier, contacted Maroof to check on the welfare of Pakistani students in Bangladesh, particularly in Dhaka. Maroof informed the deputy premier about the security measures taken by the High Commission to safeguard Pakistanis in Bangladesh and mentioned the activation of a helpline for those in distress.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan High Commission advised students in Dhaka to prioritise their safety by avoiding the protests and remaining within their campus hostels during the ongoing unrest in Bangladesh.

In the wake of ongoing protests, Pakistani students in Bangladesh are advised to stay away from the protests and take all possible precautions for their safety. In case of emergency, please contact Mr. Muhammad Haris, First Secretary: phone/whatsapp number +880 14 0849 0601 ?
