BJP MLA Vedavyas Kamath flays K'taka govt decision to cancel NEP
Mangaluru, Aug 21: BJP leader and Mangaluru South MLA Vedavyas Kamath on Monday criticised the decision of the Karnataka government to cancel the National Education Policy (NEP) in the state from the next academic year.
Addressing reporters here, Kamath said the decision of the government is not in the best interests of the students. The Union Government introduced the NEP with the larger objective of brining reforms to the nation's educational system and the policy was framed after extensive consultations.

He said it was not proper on the part of the Congress government in the state to resort to politicise the issue and urged the government against cancelling the NEP in the state.
Kamath said the education system should be the symbol of progress and should not be used for political games.

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.
