Case against CT Ravi over derogatory remark belittling women
Bengaluru: A delegation headed by State Women's Congress President Dr. B. Pushpa Amarnath on Thursday complained to the women commission alleging that the Chikkamagaluru constituency MLA CT Ravi had made a derogatory remark belittling women during the Lok Sabha polls on April 14.
"It is a natural process in the parliamentary system to criticize the opposition party while seeking votes for a party. However, being elected by people, and being a responsible lawmaker, it is bad behavior to insult women," the delegation mentioned in the complaint.
While addressing party workers in Chikkamagaluru, CT Ravi compared those who oppose Modi with a phrase in Kannada, which belittles women. The state's major media has published about this on their Twitter accounts and websites, Pushpa Amarnath said.
Abusing women for the political purpose must be brought to an end by taking appropriate legal action against MLA CT Ravi, Pushpa Amarnath urged.

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.
