Bhovi community seeks nomination to Legislative Council

Members of the Bhovi community have urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, who is also the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) chief, to nominate a member of their community to the Legislative Council. Addressing a press conference in Mysuru on Sunday, former Chairman of the Karnataka Bhovi Development Corporation G.V. Seetharamu said it was only in 1980 when a member of their community was nominated to the Legislative Council by the Congress party. Since the nomination of R. Peeranna, former MLA for H.D. Kote, in 1980 by the then Chief Minister R. Gundu Rao, not a single member of the community has been nominated to the Council, he said. The Bhovi community comes under the Scheduled Caste (SC), and is the third largest in the 1.8 crore SC population in the State, said Mr. Seetharamu, claiming that the Bhovi community's population in Karnataka is estimated to be around 18 lakh. Even though Congress has 33 MLCs in the State Legislative Council that has a total strength of 75 seats, not a single one of them belongs to the Bhovi community, he said. Mr. Seetharamu said that from his travel across the State between the 2013 assembly elections and the 2023 elections, he had seen how the Bhovi community has stood behind the Congress party. He urged Mr. Siddaramaiah and Mr. Shivakumar to recognise the dedication of the Bhovi community to the party and nominate their member to the Council. Out of the 75 members in the Legislative Council, 25 are elected by local bodies and another 25 by the members of the Legislative Assembly. While seven others are elected from graduates' constituencies, another seven are elected from the teachers' constituencies. Another 11 members are nominated by the Governor based on the recommendation of the government.

No Nukes For Iran...: US Defence Secy Hails Spectacular Military Success After Airstrikes

Israel-Iran Conflict: After the United States struck Iran's nuclear sites in Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz, amid tensions with Israel, US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth stated that the strikes were "an incredible and overwhelming success." He also added that United States President Donald Trump has consistently said for over a decade that Iran must not get a nuclear weapon. "Last night, on President Trump's orders, US Central Command conducted a precision strike in the middle of the night against three nuclear facilities in Iran, Fordeau, Natanz, and Isfahan, in order to destroy or severely degrade Iran's nuclear program. It was an incredible and overwhelming success," Hegseth said. "The order we received from our commander in chief was focused, it was powerful, and it was clear that we had devastated the Iranian nuclear program. It's worth noting the operation did not target Iranian troops or the Iranian people..." he added. #WATCH | US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth says "Last night, on President Trump's orders, US Central Command conducted a precision strike in the middle of the night against three nuclear facilities in Iran, Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, in order to destroy or severely degrade… — ANI (@ANI) June 22, 2025 Trump On Iran's Nuclear "For the entirety of his time in office, President Trump has consistently stated for over 10 years that Iran must not get a nuclear weapon, full stop. Thanks to President Trump's bold and visionary leadership and his commitment to peace through strength, Iran's nuclear ambitions have been obliterated. Many Presidents have dreamed of delivering the final blow to Iran's nuclear program, and none could until President Trump," the US Secretary of Defence said. On the other hand, in his first public remarks since the 'precision' strikes in Iran, Trump warned that he could order further action if Tehran does not agree to a satisfactory peace agreement. In his address to the nation from the White House on Saturday (local time), the US President said, 'There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we've witnessed over the last eight days.' Trump thanked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said, 'I want to thank Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel.' Top brass of the US political leadership stood beside US President Trump as he delivered the remarks, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defence, Pete Hegseth. Trump's announcement comes just two days after saying he had opened a two-week window for diplomacy. Israel-Iran Conflict The conflict between Israel and Iran entered its ninth day on Saturday, with the US launching strikes on the latter. The conflict started after Jerusalem, on June 13, launched a massive airstrike on Iranian military and nuclear sites, codenamed 'Operation Rising Lion.' In response, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a large-scale drone and missile operation, 'Operation True Promise 3', targeting Israeli fighter jet fuel production facilities and energy supply centres. On Saturday (local time) US bombed the three Iranian nuclear facilities, after which several world leaders have weighed in on the continued tensions.

Netanyahu often gets what he wants despite clashes with US presidents

A little over a month ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to have been shunted to the shadows by U.S. President Donald Trump, who hopscotched the Middle East without visiting Israel, traditionally Washington's closest regional ally. read more Just over a month ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared increasingly sidelined by US President Donald Trump, who toured the West Asia without stopping in Israel, long considered Washington's closest ally in the region. To Netanyahu's dismay, Trump lifted sanctions on neighbouring Syria and expressed interest in reviving nuclear negotiations with Iran, moves the Israeli leader has consistently opposed. But five weeks later, the narrative has flipped: U.S. bombers have struck Iran's nuclear sites—realising a decades-long goal of Netanyahu, who has long urged Washington to take military action against Tehran's atomic programme. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The episode underscores a defining trait of Netanyahu's political career: despite strained ties with successive US presidents, he often prevails in shaping U.S. policy to align with his own objectives. Over more than 30 years, Netanyahu has locked horns with American leaders—publicly challenging, defying, and sometimes even embarrassing them. Yet through both Republican and Democratic administrations, US military and diplomatic support for Israel has remained steadfast. Washington continues to be Israel's primary arms supplier and diplomatic protector. 'He probably has concluded that he always gets away with it,' said a senior UN official in Jerusalem, speaking anonymously. 'It's hard to argue otherwise.' Just weeks ago, opposition leader Yair Lapid accused Netanyahu of wrecking U.S.-Israel relations. Now, the recent strikes represent perhaps the closest military coordination yet between the two countries against a shared adversary. Clashes with US presidents Netanyahu's resistance to U.S. pressure has deep roots. Just a month into his first term in 1996, his blunt manner irked then-President Bill Clinton. 'Who the f— does he think he is? Who's the f—ing superpower here?' Clinton reportedly asked aides after their meeting. Nevertheless, vital U.S. military aid continued to flow. When Netanyahu returned to power in 2009, relations with President Barack Obama turned frosty, particularly over Israeli settlement expansion and the Obama administration's pursuit of a nuclear deal with Iran. In 2015, Netanyahu addressed the U.S. Congress—without informing the White House—warning that the Iran nuclear accord would pave the way for an atomic bomb. Though Obama was reportedly furious, Washington still finalised the largest-ever U.S. military aid package to Israel the following year: $38 billion over a decade. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Many analysts believe Netanyahu relies on the enduring support of US evangelical Christians and Jewish Americans to ensure continued aid—regardless of political turbulence. Trump, Gaza and Iran When Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel in October 2023, then-President Joe Biden rushed to Israel to express solidarity and authorised large-scale arms transfers. But tensions between Biden and Netanyahu mounted as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsened. Biden eventually paused some weapons shipments and imposed sanctions on Israeli settlers accused of violence. Netanyahu welcomed Trump's return to the presidency following last November's election. But Trump, too, initially showed frustration with the prolonged Gaza war and even initiated diplomatic outreach to Iran during a meeting with Netanyahu in early April. Although Trump never publicly endorsed Israel's military strategy, he also didn't oppose it. According to US and Israeli sources, Netanyahu used the window of ambiguity to press ahead. On June 13, Israel launched a major air assault on Iran. Behind the scenes, Israeli officials pushed Trump to join, urging him to 'finish the job.' 'Mr President, Finish the job!' read large billboards across Tel Aviv. On Sunday, when U.S. bombers struck Iran's heavily fortified nuclear facilities, the moment marked a dramatic turn in the conflict—and a personal victory for Netanyahu. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Congratulations, President Trump,' Netanyahu said in a video statement. 'Your bold decision to target Iran's nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history.' 'May God bless our unshakeable alliance, our unbreakable faith,' he concluded. Trump's intervention – despite his past pledges to avoid another 'forever war' – threatens to dramatically widen the conflict, after Israel launched an unprecedented bombing campaign on Iran last week, with Tehran vowing to retaliate if Washington joined in. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused the United States of sabotaging diplomacy after talks with European powers. 'This week, we held talks with the E3/EU when the US decided to blow up that diplomacy,' he wrote on X. Aragchi later told reporters in Istanbul the United States and Israel had 'crossed a very big red line', asserting Iran would continue to defend itself 'by all means necessary'. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the US strikes, saying Trump's decision to 'target Iran's nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history'. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In response to the US attack, Iran's armed forces said they targeted multiple sites in Israel including Ben Gurion airport, the country's main international gateway near Tel Aviv.
