Bengaluru, Feb 6: Congress leader and MLC C M Ibrahim on Monday took objection to identifying departed political leaders by their caste and religion while paying tribute in the Legislative Council.

Taking exception to referring Mukhtar-unnisa Begum, former MLA, as a minority leader in the obituary reference, he said it was not right to restrict social and political leaders to a particular caste and religion, as they were representatives of society.

The leaders in the two Houses of the State legislature paid rich tributes to former Assembly members Nagappa, Mukhtar Unnisa Begum, R. Narayanappa, Kumar Gowda Patil, Prahlad Remani, and U.M. Madappa.

Acknowledging the opinion of Mr. Ibrahim, Council Chairman D.H. Shankaramurthy said his suggestions would be incorporated in the coming days.

Mukhtar-unnisa Begum, who passed away on November 11, 2017 at the age of 82, was the first Muslim women MLA from South India.
