Iran Lodges Strong Protest with Pakistan over Judge Afzal Majoka’s Remarks

Shiite News: Iran has formally lodged a strong protest with Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs over controversial remarks made by Judge Afzal Majoka, terming them unacceptable and against diplomatic norms.
According to sources, Iranian Ambassador Reza Amiri Moghaddam sent an official letter to the Foreign Office stating that the remarks included in the judgment, including abusive language and labeling Iran a “terrorist state” are highly inappropriate and unacceptable.
