Kishore Kumar Huli slams nomination of Donald Trump for Nobel Peace Prize
Bengaluru: Renowned Indian actor and political commentator Kishore Kumar Huli took to Facebook on Tuesday evening to criticize what he termed as the “new normal and new heights of hypocrisy” in global diplomacy, following the reported nominations of former U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize by Israel and Pakistan.
In a strongly worded post, Kishore questioned the legitimacy and moral ground of such nominations, referencing media reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Pakistan have both recommended Trump for the prestigious award. The post includes an image collage from international media sources—DW and The Express highlighting Netanyahu and Pakistan's support for Trump, citing his "decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership."
“A nation which was holding talks to diffuse nuclear tensions is called a terrorist nation by a mad guy who bombed their nuclear facilities not even bothering about the people of that nation & he is being nominated for Nobel peace prize by the heads of a terrorist nation & a rogue nation… This is the new normal & New Heights of hypocrisy..”
The message appears to reference recent geopolitical tensions and military actions, possibly alluding to the conflict involving Iran, Israel, and Western powers. While Kishore did not name any country explicitly in his remarks, the sentiment points toward a critical stance on the current state of global diplomacy and the role of certain nations in escalating conflict.
This is not the first time Kishore Kumar Huli has used his platform to speak out on international politics and perceived injustices. His statements often spark debate and are widely shared by his followers, both for their boldness and their socio-political depth.

Bangladesh court sentences Sheikh Hasina to 10 years in jail in corruption cases
Dhaka (PTI): A Bangladesh court on Monday sentenced deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to 10 years in jail in two separate corruption cases related to alleged irregularities in allocations of land in a government housing project.
Dhaka Special Judge’s Court-4 Judge Rabiul Alam handed down the verdicts, sentencing Hasina to a total of 10 years’ imprisonment — five years in each case, state-run BSS news agency reported.
The court sentenced 78-year-old Hasina, her nephew Radwan Mujib Siddiq, and her nieces, Tulip Rizwana Siddiq and Azmina Siddiq, and others in the cases over alleged irregularities in the allocation of plots under the Rajuk New Town Project in Purbachol.
The judgment was pronounced at around 12.30 pm.
Tulip Siddiq was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment — two years in each case — while Radwan Mujib Siddiq and Azmina Siddiq were each sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment in both cases.
Rajuk member Mohammad Khurshid Alam, the only accused to surrender before the court, was sentenced to one year’s imprisonment in each case, totalling two years.
The court also fined all convicted persons Tk1 lakh each and ordered them to serve an additional six months in prison in default of payment.
Hasina has been living in India since she fled Bangladesh on August 5 last year in the face of the massive protests. She was earlier declared a fugitive by the court.
The cases were filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) over alleged abuse of power in the allocation of two 10-katha plots.
According to the prosecution, the accused manipulated the allocation process and violated existing rules and regulations of the Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk).
