Community is not in any one’s pocket: Khader retaliates Tanveer Sait
Udupi, June 14: Strongly reacting to the statement of Congress leader and former minister Tanveer Sait, Housing and Urban Development Minister UT Khader said that “the community is not in the pocket of any one person. People would decide on this issue. I have not missed the chance of anyone getting the minister post. It would not happen too. Everything was happened as per the decision of the party high command”.
Congress leader Tanveer Sait had said that Khader does not have the ability to represent the community. When reporters asked Khader’s reaction about the statement here on Thursday, he said that “I have not listened to his statement. But I came to know about this through media. I have not claimed myself as a leader in the political career. Being the MLA and Minister, I have worked for the people of the state. I had completed my responsibility as the minister of Food and Civil Services and Health in the previous government without any black mark”, he said.
Party high command has the details of every leader. He would work honestly to meet the expectations of people and the party. “We are like brothers. I would pray in this sacred month that the dream and desire of Tanveer Sait would come true”, he said.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
