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.

Washington (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Friday said he had a "very good conversation" with his "friend" Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He was referring to the talks the two leaders had on Tuesday.
"I had a very good talk with him, and he's a friend of mine from India, and he's doing great. We had a very good conversation," Trump told reporters here as he headed to Las Vegas to address a roundtable on tax cuts.
Trump had called Modi on Tuesday to discuss the bilateral relationship and share perspectives on the situation in West Asia, where the US and Israel have launched a war on Iran.
The US and Iran declared a two-week ceasefire on April 7. They engaged in peace talks with Washington, insisting that Tehran give up its pursuit of nuclear weapons and uranium enrichment.
The war with Iran has sent gas prices soaring as Tehran blocked the sea lanes in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow gateway for a fifth of global oil supplies.
During the Trump-Modi phone call on Tuesday, the two leaders stressed the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and secure.
According to the US Ambassador to India Sergei Gor, the 40-minute conversation ended with Trump telling Modi, "we all love you".
Tuesday's phone call was the second between the two leaders since the US-Israel war with Iran began on February 28.
