Avoid bringing up the boundary dispute: K’taka to Maha

Karnataka cautioned the government of neighboring Maharashtra on Friday not to escalate the border conflict.

We are a component of the nation’s governmental structure. You (Maharashtra) would be breaking the law and disrespecting the Constitution if you attempt to engage in any activity within our boundaries without our consent. Karnataka Law Minister HK Patil said in the State Legislative Council on Friday that the state would not put up with any such activities.

According to Patil, they have always said that they would not engage in small-scale politics on the border dispute; yet, Maharashtra’s ruling class has done so each time there is an election.

According to the minister, Maharashtra went to the Supreme Court and received a reprimand. “We have a clear position. Keep things as they are, or the Mahajan report becomes definitive. We will take action if they file a case with the Supreme Court. He said, “They should quit playing such needless politics, but if they do, we’ll respond appropriately and you won’t be able to handle it.

The minister said that they have to examine the treatment of Marathi-speaking individuals in Karnataka, noting that they hold positions of authority in the Belgaum corporation. He said that Maharashtra need to act in a manner like to Karnataka and foster harmony in the area.

In response to a recent meeting in Mumbai where a delegation from MES from Belagavi discussed the demands of Marathi-speaking people living in border areas of Karnataka and decided to extend support people in 865 border villages, Congress MLC BK Hariprasad expressed concern to Patil, urging the state government to take note. According to Hariprasad, the Maharashtra government chose to establish a health programme and assign Tahasildar level personnel to assist them.

MLAs are not required for Bagair Hukum Panels

Bengaluru: With the passing of the Karnataka Land Revenue (Amendment) Bill by the Legislative Assembly, MLA participation in bagair hukum committees is no longer required. This will enable the state government to designate officials or MLAs to suggest anybody for inclusion on the committee. According to the Bill, the state government may designate any individual as a member of the committee if an MLA notifies the committee in writing that he or she is unable or unable to serve on the committee, or if the MLA post for that constituency is open.
