Chikmagaluru, October 28: Sri Rama Sene state president Siddalinga Swamiji said that CT Ravi who enjoyed the power generation in the name of Datta Peetha was a coward and MP Shobha Karandlaje was a babbler.

Speaking at a religious meeting after the Shobha Yatra conducted as part of Dattamala Abhiyan at Bola Rameshwara temple here on Sunday, the Swamiji said that the MLA and the MP who won in the name of Dattatreya were not speaking about Datta Peetha which unfortunate. Both of them have insulted the feelings of Hindus and they should be taught a lesson in the upcoming election, he said.

The BJP, instead of protecting the interests of Hindus, has been just enjoying the power. It has failed to understand the problems of Hindus. They have postponed the construction of Rama Mandir for the last 20 years. Because of the curse of the Dattatreya, the BJP has failed to get the power. The state government should appoint Hindu priest at Datta Peetha and shift the tombs at Datta Peetha to Nagenahalli. If the state government failed to do it, the Sri Rama Sene would fight against it and the government would be held responsible for it, he said.

Srirama Sene working president Gangadhar Kulkarni, Virupaksha Shivacharya Swamiji of Hulikere Doddamatha, Channaveera Swamiji of Yadagiri, Sindagi Shanthaveera Swamiji, Kambalagiri Baba, Singer Uday Singh, Sri Rama Sene state vice president Mahesh Kattinamane, State organising secretary Mahalinga, District president Ranjith Shetty, Anand Shetty, Parashuram Nadamane, Yashaswini Gowda, Sharadamma and others were present.

Washington (PTI): President Donald Trump on Tuesday said NATO and most of US' other allies have rejected his calls to help secure the Strait of Hormuz as the war with Iran entered the third week.

In a social media post, Trump asserted that Iran’s military has been “decimated” and he no longer felt the need for assistance from NATO countries or anyone else.

Last week, Trump had sought help from European nations and others who depend on oil supplies transiting from the Hormuz Strait to safeguard the critical waterway.

“The United States has been informed by most of our NATO “Allies” that they don’t want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran, in the Middle East, this, despite the fact that almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing, and that Iran cannot, in any way, shape, or form, be allowed to have a Nuclear Weapon,” the US President said in a post on Truth Social.

Iran's attacks on Gulf nations and its grip on the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil is transported, have sparked increasing concerns of a global energy crisis and are unnerving the world economy.

“I am not surprised by their action, however, because I always considered NATO, where we spend Hundreds of Billions of Dollars per year protecting these same Countries, to be a one-way street — We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need,” Trump said.

He said Australia, Japan and South Korea too have turned down his call for help.

“Fortunately, we have decimated Iran’s Military – Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti-Aircraft and Radar is gone and perhaps, most importantly, their Leaders, at virtually every level, are gone, never to threaten us, our Middle Eastern Allies, or the World, again,” Trump said.

He said that given the scale of recent military successes, the US no longer "need" or desires assistance from NATO countries, adding that it never relied on such support in the first place.

Speaking as President of the United States, the "most powerful" country in the world, "we do not need" help from anyone, Trump said.

The West Asia conflict began on February 28 when the US-Israeli combine conducted airstrikes on Iran.

The Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway that connects the Persian Gulf to the open ocean, has effectively been shut following the US and Israel attack on Iran and Tehran's sweeping retaliation.

However, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had said that from Tehran's "perspective", the strait is "open". "It is only closed to Iran's enemies, to those who carried out unjust aggression against our country and to their allies.”

Earlier in the day, a second Indian-flagged LPG tanker, Nanda Devi, reached the country after safely sailing from the war-hit Strait of Hormuz. On Monday, the first ship, Shivalik, reached Mundra port in Gujarat.

As of now, 22 Indian vessels remain on the west side and two on the east side of the strait.

Indian authorities are in constant touch with all the relevant stakeholders in the region to secure the safe passage of the remaining ships, officials said.
