Understand concerns behind parents' advise: CM tells youth
Bengaluru, Jan 11: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Friday visited the NIMHANS where a youth Venugopal who tried to commit suicide at Metro Station, was admitted and enquired his health condition and advised him to understand the concerns of the parents.
A mother who has been leading life with tailoring work advised her son Venugopal who has failed in one subject in SSLC examination, to pass the subject. Depressed over his mother’s advice, the youth tried to commit suicide.
In view of this, the CM visited the hospital and advised him not to take extreme steps in life for the small things. They should understand the concerns behind the advise of the parents, he said. But Venugopal said he did not try to commit suicide, but he did not know what happened at that moment.
As the examination time is approaching, it is common that both the parents and the students get panic. The schools and colleges should create pressure-free environment for the students to prepare for the examinations. Students should also receive the advises of their parents and teachers in positive way and concentrate on studies, the CM said.

Lebanon appoints new representative for talks with Israel, rejects linkage to Iran
Beirut: Lebanon’s has moved to underline its independent position in ongoing regional developments, amid attempts to link the country to the broader conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel.
President Joseph Aoun, while announcing the appointment of former US ambassador Simon Karam as Lebanon’s representative in talks with Israel, made it clear that Karam would be the sole representative for Lebanon and that there would be no substitute.
The move comes in response to what the Lebanese officials see as efforts by Iran to tie Lebanon’s situation to the wider regional conflict. Iran had indicated that there would be no ceasefire involving the US, Israel and Iran unless it also included a ceasefire in Lebanon.
Some groups, including Hezbollah and its supporters, had expressed support for linking the situations, citing concerns that the Lebanese government has limited leverage in negotiations with Israel. Lebanon is not formally a party to the conflict, and its army is considered weak.
However, others, including Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, have opposed this approach. They view Iran’s stance as an attempt to influence Lebanon’s internal affairs and see it as undermining the country’s sovereignty.
Officials backing the government’s position say the move is aimed at reaffirming Lebanon’s sovereignty and ensuring that decisions about peace and ceasefire within the country are not dictated externally.
They also see it as a safeguard, so that any breakdown in talks between the US, Israel and Iran does not automatically lead to renewed conflict in Lebanon.
