Vijayapura: Minister for Commerce and Industry MB Patil has issued a stern warning to activist Chakravarthy Sulibele, cautioning him that his efforts to fuel communal tensions in society will lead to legal repercussions. Patil conveyed the message that any attempt to incite communal strife would result in imprisonment for Sulibele, the founder of Yuva Brigade.

During a press conference held on Sunday, Patil expressed his dissatisfaction with Sulibele's comparison of the Congress government to Hitler's regime, stating that such remarks were inflammatory and divisive. Patil accused Sulibele of instigating disturbances in the state over the past four years, citing controversial issues such as textbooks, hijab, halal, and azaan. Patil emphasized that the government is committed to resolving these problems and restoring harmony.

Responding to Sulibele's remarks, Patil clarified that the saffron color is not exclusive to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He highlighted that the Congress party also holds religious ceremonies, hoists saffron flags at temples, and utilizes the color in their homes, underscoring the shared cultural significance of the saffron hue.

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.
