Mangaluru, Jan 11: SP B.M Lakshmi Prasad clarified that the Ministry of Central Intelligence has not sent any information to the district police on conspiring to kill RSS leaders.

Speaking to ‘Varthabharati’ here on Friday, the SP said that Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat was being given security since long back. But the number of security personnel was not increased. It is false that additional security personnel were increased. As usual, the senior police officers go to his house and verify the situation, he said.

“We did not get any official communication from the centre about the threat to Kalladka Bhat. He is under police security. But the department will make some changes in the security arrangements. When he goes out, the escort vehicle will be provided to him and it is a common process”, the SP said.

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.
