Udupi, July 19: Esha Vittala Swamiji of Kemaru Sandipani Ashram suspected that rejection of Puritanism and embracing of the poor people irrespective of castes and religion might have caused the death of Lakshmivara Tirtha Swamiji of Shiroor Mutt.

Speaking to reporters near KMC hospital at Manipal on Thursday, the swamiji said that Shiroor Swamiji did not have any major health problems. So, the government should intervene and probe the death issue of the swamiji, he demanded.

The Shiroor swamiji was not always using solid food. He was taking juice. The food was being prepared in the Mutt. Now, a comprehensive inquiry should be conducted to know whether the swamiji was poisoned or not in his food, he demanded.

“When he spoke to me five days ago, he expressed his desire to move the court on handing over the Presiding Deity. Literally, he wept for the Presiding Deity. He was being haunted by the idol of Anna Vittala”, the swamiji said.

Ottawa: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has come under criticism after a video of him dancing at a Taylor Swift concert in Toronto went viral, coinciding with violent protests in Montreal.

The footage, shared widely on social media, shows Trudeau enjoying the performance at the Rogers Centre on November 23. While the concert featured hits like "You Don’t Own Me," Montreal witnessed unrest as anti-NATO demonstrators clashed with police, set vehicles on fire, and burned an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Social media users criticised Trudeau’s presence at the concert during the crisis, with some comparing his actions to Nero’s alleged indifference during Rome's burning.

The Montreal protests occurred during the ongoing NATO summit in the city, which focused on issues such as Ukraine and climate change. Demonstrators carried Palestinian flags and set off smoke bombs, with at least four arrests reported.
