FIR against BJP MP for 'spreading rumour' over deaths
Bankura: An FIR has been registered against BJP MP Subhash Sarkar on charges of spreading a rumour through a social media post over the cremation of two bodies.
Sources in the police said the FIR was registered against the Bankura lawmaker on Thursday after Trinamool Congress leader Jaydeep Chattopadhyay filed a complaint against him with the Bankura Sadar police station.
The BJP lawmaker had said on social media that the authorities were wrong in cremating two bodies and claimed the persons had died of coronavirus.
The TMC leader said, "The MP is a doctor himself. It is unfortunate that without seeing any report (of the two deceased), he tried to spread rumour through social media during the time of COVID-19 pandemic". The BJP MP hit back saying, "How did the administration cremate the bodies even before the test results have come?"
The bodies of two persons who died in a government hospital were cremated by the authorities on April 12 midnight. Some people had demonstrated claiming that the two died of coronavirus.

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.
