Why is MP silent on Vijaya Bank merger?: Minister Khader
Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada district in-charge Minister UT Khader has asked that why was MP Nalin Kumar Kateel silent on the merging process of Dakshina Kannada-based, in-profit Vijaya Bank with Gujarat-based Bank of Baroda, which is running under loss.
Addressing a press conference at the circuit house in the City on Thursday morning, he said "Vijaya Bank is one of the prestigious banks in the district, with around Rs 200 crore profit. While the Bank of Baroda is at Rs 3,000 crore loss. To save the bank of his native state, the Prime Minister has decided to merge it with Vijaya Bank. It was ironic that our MPs and BJP members are not raising their voice against it."

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.
