As a MP his duty is to take care of the citizen I/O that he still is standing with his old low grade showing rowdism. No need to wait for any judicial advise. Dept must book him non bailable case. Being a MP and behaving like a Desh Drohi he has no right to enter to our respectful parliament house.
This is the right time all peace loving Mangaloreans stand together and demand his resignation n send him behind bar at least for 5years period.
Then u see no pumpwell satyajith or puranik will open their mouth with communal speech.
Jai Hind!

Mangaluru, July 29: Justifying the transfer of Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh, district in-charge minister Kota Shrinivas Poojari has accused Mangaluru MLA U T Khader of politicizing the issue. 

The IAS officer was transferred by the Karnataka government on July 28, a day after a saffron activist issued a death threat against her on social media after she warned of legal action against the miscreants who attack cattle traders.

Condemning the development, Mr Khader had tweeted that the state government has punished the deputy commissioner instead of punishing the culprit, who issued death threat.

Responding to Mr Khader’s tweet, Mr Poojari said that the transfer of the officer was on administrative ground. “It is unfortunate that Khader politicized a transfer carried out by the government on administrative ground. This is not Khader’s time to protect any accused,” tweeted Mr Poojari. 

It is worth mentioning here that Mr Khader was the district in-charge minister of Dakshina Kannada before Mr Poojari taking over the position. 

Meanwhile, police has arrested a person in connection with the death threat against the IAS officer.
