Chikkamagaluru: Shivakumar urges India to send message of peace amid West Asia conflict
Chikkamagaluru: Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar emphasised the need to send a strong message of peace to end the ongoing conflict in West Asia, urging India to play a proactive role in reducing tensions in the region.
Speaking to journalists in Balehonnur in N.R. Pura taluk on Sunday, during his visit to attend a programme at Rambhapuri Mutt, Shivakumar said, “India needs to send a message to the U.S. to stop the war on Iran.”
The conflict in that region has had an impact worldwide, including in India. “The USA should stop the war and begin the peace talks. All Indians need to send a united message of peace,” he said.
Highlighting the concerns of Indian families, particularly in southern states, Shivakumar said that a significant number of Indians are employed in West Asia. “In the coastal regions of Kerala and Karnataka, at least one person from each family is working in that region. We need to care for their safety,” he said.
Referring to reports of casualties in Iran, he said more than 70 children had reportedly been killed and that lakhs of people were distressed due to the conflict. He also pointed out that global flight operations had been affected.
“We all must desire peace, and only through that can we save people. Nobody should be harmed. The Union government should also convey the message of peace,” he said.

Bengaluru (PTI): A 27-year-old techie allegedly died by suicide by hanging herself in her room at her residence here, reportedly distressed over an astrologer's prediction about her marriage, police said on Monday.
The incident occurred on Friday at MEI Layout in Bagalagunte, they said.
The deceased, identified as Vidyajyoti, was in a relationship with a man from another caste. Both families had agreed to the marriage as per her wishes, police said.
Citing a preliminary inquiry, a senior police officer said her parents had recently consulted an astrologer, who allegedly predicted that there could be misunderstandings between the couple two years into the marriage, possibly leading to separation.
To avert this, the astrologer reportedly advised performing a nine-day ritual, which the family undertook, he said.
However, on the ninth day of the ritual, Vidyajyoti allegedly went to her room and died by suicide by hanging herself from a ceiling fan when her parents were not home, he added.
The incident came to light in the evening when she did not respond despite repeated knocks on the door. Her father later broke open the door and found her hanging, police said.
Bagalagunte police have registered a UDR (Unnatural Death Report) case, and further investigation is underway.
