India takes its stance in favour of war crimes trials in Bangladesh after the execution of a top war criminal Motiur Rahman Nizami, reports PTI.

Nizami was the highest ranking Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) leader to be hanged for crimes against humanity in 1971. With his execution, the stigma that we had been carrying for the last 45 years has been removed.
