“Should respond back to the attack”: U T Khader

Mangaluru: India must respond back to the terrorist attack on Indian soldiers at Pulwama in Kashmir. We are with the union government on this, said district in-charge minister U T Khader speaking at a press conference at the DK district Congress office on Saturday February 16^th.

This is a vile and inhumane act. This is not just an attack on the army; but an attack on the honour and self respect of the India. All must come together to condemn this act, said Khader.

BJP’s aim was to hinder the session and obstruct the delivery of the budget and in this way try to pose the Congress-JD(S) coalition government’s administration as a failure. There is assistance from PM Narendra Modi and BJP national president Amith Shah behind this idea, alleged the minister.

Rs 3.5 crore has been approved for the development of 2 lakes in Dakshina Kannada district. Rs 2 crore have been released for the development of the Jalaka lake at Mulki and Rs 1.5 crore has been released for the development of Dadas lake near Konaje, he informed.
