Bangladesh opted out of the key summit known as D-8 Summit in Pakistan which is scheduled to be held later in November, 2012. Bangladesh opted out because Pakistan refused to apologise for the deeds committed during 1971 war which eventually led to Bangladesh’s independence.

Bangladesh’s foreign minister in an earlier visit of Hina Rabbani, Pakistan’s foreign minister demanded a formal apology to the Bangladesh’s populace. This apology was demanded for the carnage committed by Pakistan Army and also for putting the former political as well as military personalities on trial in then-East Pakistan.

Since then, Pakistan has not paid heed to the demand. Now, Bangladesh claims more clarity on this issue.
