Blood Donation camp on Independence Day in Mangaluru
Mangaluru: A blood donation camp has been organized at the Jamiathul Falah Hall in Kankanady on August 15, in the joint collaboration of All India Payam-e-Insaniyat Forum, Blood Donor Mangaluru, Jamiatul Falah Mangaluru Unit and Government Wenlock Hospital, Mangaluru.
Organized under the theme 'Let's be lifesavers', the blood donation camp aims at reaching out to the sick and needy, irrespective of caste and creed. "Strengthening of human bond across communities is essential to develop a harmonious atmosphere in the country. Serving the downtrodden in the society lets us know the reality of life and to understand the purpose of human existence", the organizers stated in a press release.
Highlighting the importance of co-existence on the occasion of independence, the organizers stated, "The people who brought independence to this country wanted us to safeguard the values of non-violence, civility and democracy. Unfortunately, we have failed in our duty. Consequently, we are in the imminent danger of being consumed by the inferno of violence and conflict. All our traditions, which made the world respect us, would be consumed by the fire of hatred and violence. Our traditions, the reason for our honour and pride will be gone". They also warned about how whole societies have been consumed by the fire of violence and intolerance.
The blood donation camp will be held from 9 am to 1 pm. For more information, one may contact the organizers at 9844703567, the press release stated.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
