Pakistan has expressed concern over inordinate delay in handing over mortal remains of Shaheed SP Tahir Dawar to Pakistan.

In a tweet statement, Foreign Officer Spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal said the fact that the handing over was linked to insistence on non-diplomatic procedures and non-official individuals resulting in avoidable pain to the Shaheed’s family.

He said diplomatic and humanitarian norms need to be observed, especially in such circumstances.
