Home Minister MB Patil files complaint against Kannada daily
Bengaluru: A Kannada daily has published an article under the headline 'MB Patil sparks separate religion row again' on its page 2 on April 16. In which it carried a fake letter issued by the Bijapur Lingayat District Education Association (BLDE), said State Home Minister MB Patil.
Speaking to reporters after filing a complaint with the state's Chief Electoral Officer on Seshadri Road on Wednesday, he said that the letter was created to stigmatize and maliciously blame my name and confuse voters.
"I did not write this letter. It was made to appear as if I signed the correspondence on the letterhead of the BLDE and sent to Sonia Gandhi in 2017, detailing potentical strategies to win the 2018 assembly polls," Patil said.

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.
