Governor’s speech: BJP has no moral right to criticize us, says Congress MLC BK Hariprasad
Bengaluru: The verbal tussle between the Bharatiya Janata Party Karnataka unit and the Congress over Governor Thaawar Chand Gehlot limiting his address before the Legislature on Thursday to just two sentences has continued, with senior Congress MLC BK Hariprasad sharing on his Facebook page earlier instances of what he called misbehavior by the BJP in the House.
Hariprasad on Thursday opined on the social media page that the BJP Karnataka had no moral right to comment on discipline, dignity and honour of the Legislature and cited episodes related to the objectionable behavior by the Opposition party members.
“Which party was it, whose members tore clothes in the House and joined hands and behaved like gangsters? Which party did the people who watched blue films in the House instead of discussing the serious problems in the state, thereby shaming the state before the nation, belong to? To which party did the people who tore documents and threw them on the face of the Speaker only to be suspended belong to?” he asked in his post.
“Does the BJP have the courage to say with pride that these people, with such discipline, culture, dignity and honour, are its members?” Hariprasad has added.
He further said that the state was going through a dark phase in its political history as the BJP had been misusing the Constitutional powers of the Governor.
“The Governor enjoys his power from the tax-payers’ money and not from the free money that goes to an unregistered organization in Nagpur. We will continue to defend our rights, be it against the Governor or any other person in a Constitutional post, who acts against the Constitution,” he said, and added, “We are not so deprived of morality that we have to learn it from the BJP. Congress will never face such a day.”

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.
