Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Sunday said that he will not stoop lows that PM Modi has in making false allegations without any proof and documents.

He was speaking to reporters at Vidhan Soudha on the occasion of 128th birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna and Constitutionalist Dr. B R Ambedkar.

I have not stooped as low as Narendra Modi. And that is why I am not afraid of Income Tax raids or any other raids. PM Modi has the history of taking commission and percentage and hence he speaks of commission and percentage everywhere.

“When we protested against IT raids, Modi mocked and ridiculed us. He must’ve seen if the IT is working diligently or not. If JD(S) supremo HD Devegowda goes into a village and have lunch at a poor man’s house, IT will raid that particular house very next day. And then they say this government has humanity” he said lashing out at Modi.

“Modi says ours is a remote control government, everybody knows who is remote controlling the Modi government. We are not remote controlled we are having absolute free administration here. We are not bothered about losing government” he said.

Stamping the attack on Modi, Kumaraswamy said “In Modi’s governance as the CM of Gujarat, Godhra tragedy happened where hundreds of innocent were killed. He faced police probe for it. I haven’t done anything like that and I don’t have to learn governance and ethics by a man who has taken innocent lives as the CM of a state”.

Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar and Social Welfare Minister Priyank Kharge were also present at this occasion.

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.
