Mangaluru, October 09: While the issue of including the development of Kudroli slaughterhouse under the Smart City Project has become a dispute between political parties, the district JDS has backed District Minister UT Khader.

Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, JDS district president Mohammed Kunhi said that “Minister Khader has just given his suggestion on developing the slaughterhouse. He has not taken any unilateral decision. Moreover, Rs 15 crore is not yet released for the purpose. He has just given a suggestion in a meeting of elected representatives and officials on the Smart City Project. Though there were BJP representatives in the meeting, they were silent when the Minister gave his suggestion. It is not fair to make allegation against Khader keeping in mind the election”, he said.

“The JDS-Congress coalition is doing well in the state. District Minister Khader has taken all into confidence without making any discrimination. There is no law and order situation problem in the district. There is nothing wrong in the Minister’s suggestion to develop the slaughterhouse under the Smart City Project”, he added.

MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, who said that he would disturb the peace in the district in related to Pajeer Karthik Raj murder case, has taken up the slaughterhouse issue to mislead the people. He was trying to divide the people on emotional issues. Instead of disturbing the law and order situation in the district through provocative speeches, let the BJP give good suggestions for the development of the district, said Kunhi.

Party leaders Vasanth Poojary, M.K. Khader and others were present at the press conference.
