Daijiworld Media Network – Puttur (SB)

Puttur, Aug 9: MP Nalin Kumar Kateel expressing his discontent over Puttur assistant superintendent of police’s (ASP) move of holding separate meeting for Muslims and Hindus in connection with the disturbing developments that occurred here last week said that he will bring to the notice of the senior police officials and inspector general of police (western range) Gopal Hosur that henceforth peace meeting should be organized in the presence of the all communities involved in the incidents along with the people’s representatives and media too present at the meeting.

Informing media persons Kateel taking severe exception to people’s representatives and media men being excluded from the separate meeting held for Muslims and Hindus by the ASP said that senior police officials have already been strictly informed that such meetings which hides information from the public and conducted without taking public into confidence should not be held in any police stations or sub-divisions in the district. Kateel said that he received several telephone calls from the public condemning the separate meetings held by the ASP for Muslims and Hindus and also informed that such meetings should not be held in the district.

I have informed home minister Dr V S Acharya too in this regard, said Kateel.
