S.R. Mahesh lacks political knowledge: Defense Minister Nirmala Sitharaman
Bengaluru, August 25: “Minister SR Ramesh had lowered the dignity of the upper house of the Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and showed utter lack of regard and knowledge about the Indian Polity,” stated Defense minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
In an official clarification about the heated exchange of words that took place between Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and District in-charge Minister SR Mahesh in flood-hit Kodagu district, said that her Kodagu tour schedule was prepared two days ago and circulated to all concerned departments before her arrival. However, during the trip, the district minister replaced the programme. According to her schedule, the meeting was to be held with ex-servicemen first. Then she had to meet officials after visiting the flood-affected areas. But Minister SR Mahesh pressed for a meeting of officials before.
The protocol was violated by allowing media at a meeting with the district administration. The minister insisted on holding officials meeting first. She went to the meeting of officials to avoid the situation from deteriorating. But, the venue was already set up for the press conference, and hurriedly the officials were summoned to sit among the mediapersons for the review. It was unprecedented to hold a meeting with the officials, with all mediapersons present," the clarification said. “It is unfortunate the way Karnataka minister behaved,” Nirmala Sitharaman said.
There has been gross misinterpretation about the use of the term 'Parivar' by the defense minister. It maintained that all ex-servicemen were part of the ministry of defense parivar.
