Press secretary stresses legacy of martyred intellectuals

Law Adviser Asif Nazrul yesterday accused India of double standards for ignoring what he said were atrocities committed against its Muslim minority, but expressing concerns for Bangladesh.

The amended International Crimes Tribunal Act will not include provisions for punishing political parties or any other organisations, or for recommending such punishments, Law Adviser Prof Asif Nazrul said yesterday.

The government has directed Mohammed Kamrul Islam, counsellor (Labour Wing) at Bangladesh Mission in Geneva, to return home following an incident of harassment of Law Adviser Asif Nazrul in Geneva recently.

Why is there still no measure to stop the filing of wholesale cases?

In a major development, the interim government yesterday formed a six-member search committee led by Justice Zubayer Rahman Chowdhury, a judge of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, to constitute a new Election Commission.

A day after commenting on the possibility of the next election being held in 2025, Law Adviser Asif Nazrul today clarified that only the chief adviser of the interim government has the authority to make such an announcement
