Trial of Bangladesh war criminals needs to speed up, says analyst

Dhaka, Feb 13 (ANI): Analyst Mesbah Kamal on Friday (February 13) expressed concerns about the pace of trial of 1971 war criminals, especially in the present scenario when the country is reeling under political unrest. Kamal opined that the President's power of clemency should not be applicable in cases of war criminals. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina set up the tribunal in 2010 to investigate abuses during the 1971 conflict, but critics say she is using it as a political weapon against the two biggest opposition parties, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Jamaat-e-Islami. The tribunal has been criticized by rights groups for failing to adhere to international standards. Human Rights Watch said lawyers, witnesses and investigators reported they had been threatened. The government dismissed that criticism. More than 200 people have been killed in violent protests against the tribunal and its decisions, most of them Islamist party activists and members of the security forces. Feb 13, 2015

'After Earth' failure was valuable lesson in his career, says Will Smith

New Delhi, Feb 13 (ANI): Will Smith, who was left devastated after his movie 'After Earth' bombed at the box-office, said that the movie's failure was a valuable lesson and the most painful failure in his career.

He continued that he got the box-office numbers and he was devastated for about 24 minutes, and then he found out that his father had cancer and then he went right downstairs and got on the treadmill for about 90 minutes. He further added that only love was going to fill that hole and one can't win enough, one can't have enough money, one can't succeed enough. Feb 13, 2015

Bihar Crisis: JD (U) is divided into JD (U)-Manjhi and JD (U)-Nitish, says Sushil Kumar Modi

Patna, Feb 13 (ANI): BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi on Friday said that JD (U) has been divided into JD (U)-Manjhi and JD (U)-Nitish. Modi added that the allegations made by Bihar's former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his allies may be from a political prism but does not bode well for parliamentary democracy. JD-U has claimed support of 130 legislators, more than the half-way mark of the strength of the House, which is 243. JD-U has blamed its erstwhile partner, BJP, for the political uncertainty in the state, a charge the latter denies. Feb 13, 2015
