Bangladesh tribunal begins former PM Sheikh Hasina's trial; proceedings aired live on national TV
Dhaka [Bangladesh], June 1 (ANI): Formal charges were filed on Sunday against the former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for crimes against humanity committed during the student-led uprising in the country in July-August 2024. Incidentally, the trial is being conducted in Sheikh Hasina's absence and the Bangladesh state-owned broadcaster Bangladeshi TV (BTV) will air the proceedings live. Chief Prosecutor Mohammad Tajul Islam filed formal charges at the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) in Dhaka. Ironically, the tribunal was formed by Hasina to try crimes committed during Bangladesh's Liberation War in 1971. The prosecution of the Bangladeshi International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has pressed formal charges against Hasina, who had fled the country last year, in a case filed over their alleged crimes against humanity committed during the July mass uprising. As per the charges Hasina was the main mastermind behind the inhumane acts such as crimes against humanity, murders, and burning of bodies across the country during the movement to overthrow the government in 2024. These crimes were organized on her orders. She is the main instigator of the crimes, as per the charges. Arrest warrants have also been issued against other members of Hasina's Awami League. Former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and former IGP Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun were named co-accused in the complaint submitted by Chief Prosecutor Tajul Islam to the ICT. Hasina has defied an arrest warrant and extradition orders from Dhaka to face trial in person. She has rejected the charges as politically motivated. A fact-finding committee of the United Nations Human Rights High Commission estimates that around 1,400 people were killed during anti-Sheikh Hasina protests in 2024. The Awami League has denied the allegations against Sheikh Hasina, saying that many of the protesters, police, and Awami League leaders and party activists were killed by the attacks of protesters. Meanwhile, the Appellate Division of the Bangladesh Supreme Court on Sunday ordered the Election Commission to revoke Jamaat-e-Islami's registration as a political party. During Sheikh Hasina's tenure, the government banned Jamaat-e-Islami. The Election Commission also cancelled the party's registration. The interim government lifted the ban on the Jamaat. Jamaat-e-Islami opposed the independence of Bangladesh in the 1971 war of liberation. Sheikh Hasina's government tried Jamaat for war crimes. The interim government banned Awami League activities and began the trial of Sheikh Hasina. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted in a student-led uprising in August last year. She is now living in India on self-imposed exile. After Sheikh Hasina's fall, an interim government was formed under the leadership of Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus. (ANI)

"Trump has put India and Pakistan in same basket": Congress leader Shama Mohamed
New Delhi [India], June 1 (ANI) : Congress leader Shama Mohamed on Sunday sharply criticized former US President Donald Trump for allegedly equating India and Pakistan in the context of terrorism. Mohamed accused Trump of placing both countries 'in the same basket,' despite Pakistan's role as a perpetrator of terrorism and India being its victim. The Congress leader's remarks were made amidst India sending out all-party delegations to various countries as part of its diplomatic outreach against Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. Speaking to ANI, Mohamed said, 'Trump has repeatedly said... 11 times has brought in the ceasefire. The Trump administration clearly said that we have imposed a trade embargo on Pakistan and India to get the ceasefire. Trump has put India and Pakistan in the same basket. They are the perpetrators of terrorism, while we are their victims. After 26/11, the whole world was with us, now who is with us? Why is Pakistan getting deals and MoUs?... Why is everybody with Pakistan and not with India?...' Trump has repeatedly claimed the US brokered the ceasefire and on Friday said that he had told India and Pakistan that the US can't trade with nations that shoot at each other. India has categorically denied any links between trade and tariffs and the recent ceasefire discussion with Pakistan. It also denied US role in the ceasefire understanding. On Saturday, Congress leader Pawan Khera sought clarification from Prime Minister Narendra Modi over US President Donald Trump's recent statement, in which he claimed that trade diplomacy helped de-escalate tensions between India and Pakistan after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. 'Prime Minister Modi is going around the country, doing a fancy dress competition. He hasn't brought up Donald Trump even once,' Khera told ANI. He insisted that only the Prime Minister could provide clarity on the matter, saying, 'Now, only our Prime Minister can respond for Donald Trump, you and I certainly cannot. What is this pressure to respond, what is this fear about?' He added, 'We are repeatedly asking: Did you make a deal over Sindoor (Operation Sindoor) out of fear of losing trade? That has been our question from day one.' US President Donald Trump on Friday (local time) had again claimed credit for brokering a cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan, asserting that his administration's trade negotiations potentially averted a nuclear war between the two nations. During an interaction with reporters, Trump expressed pride in achieving peace through trade rather than military conflict, reigniting debates over the US role in the recent India-Pakistan ceasefire following the escalation of tension after the Pahalgam Terror Attack and India's subsequent reply through Operation Sindoor. The cessation of hostilities between the two nations came on May 10 after India's 'Operation Sindoor', launched in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists, including a Nepali national. The operation targeted nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), leading to intense clashes, including Pakistan's attempted drone attacks on Indian cities along the International Border and Line of Control (LoC) and shelling along the LoC. Before India could officially announce any understanding of cessation of hostilities with Pakistan, US President Donald Trump announced the 'full and immediate ceasefire', claiming that the US played a key role as mediator. However, India refuted the claims made by the US President, reiterating its policy that India and Pakistan bilaterally address any matter related to the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The MEA further stated that the 'issue of trade' did not come up between Indian and US leaders since the commencement of 'Operation Sindoor' and the cessation of hostilities.' 'From the time Operation Sindoor commenced on May 7 till the time of cessation on May 10, there was conversation between India and the US. But the issue of tariffs never came up in these discussions,' External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on Thursday in his media briefing. (ANI)
