Belagavi: Minister Khader tries his hand at handling traffic, takes ride with stranger


Daijiworld Media Network - Belagavi (SP)

Belagavi, Jan 28: In an interesting development, state minister, U T Khader, made an effort to personally streamline the traffic in the city on Friday January 27. Khader was trying to get out of a very bad traffic jam in which he had got stuck unexpectedly.

Khader was being driven towards Sambra airport here to go back to Bengaluru on Friday, when he came across a traffic jam that had occurred due to the fact that chief minister, Siddaramaiah, was on a visit to the district through this road. Khader was in a hurry to reach the airport, and he got stranded amid maddening traffic although the departure time of his aircraft was nearing.

Frustrated by this turn of events, Khader got down from the car, stood in the midst of the road, and tried to guide the traffic by giving signals and shouting at drivers like traffic policemen.

However, his effort went in vain. He then dropped the idea, and sought lift to the airport through the motor bike of an unknown bike rider. Strangely, his car continued to be stuck in the jam, even after Khader reached the airport and boarded his aircraft.

    This gentleman Mr. U.T.Khader seems like a different politician - he should be in BJP & Modi Government. He has the similar down to earth & humble qualities of many such ministers in NaMo cabinet.

    Mr. Khadar, where is your helmet? I have heard that in Bellary people drive without helmet even in front of cops. But being a public figure, you should have worn one. But you can be forgiven as you have lent humanitarian hand before.

    He himself is not in helmet and the guy driving is not in helmet. he is supporting wrong things.
    our leaders only doing wrong how can we expect people will do right.
    he should know helmet is compulsory. he should ask this guy why he is not wearing helmet. call polic and make him pay the fine instead he is taking lift .

    The cops in Belagavi are not interested to book riders and pillion without helmet, but in Mangalore the traffic cops are really nab riders and pillion without helmet make some quick buck. The cops in Mangalore always ready to nab riders and pillion without helmet, but not interested if anyone parks on the footpath or in a prohibited area specially cars and buses. This is the state of affairs in Mangalore, if someone complains to the cops that a cars are parked in a prohibited area they just give a deaf ear. Really confusing situation.

    All the commenters do you remember when Khader came to the aid of an old couple,involved in an accident,sending them to a hospital in his official car and himself taking an auto to reach his destination when humanity comes first and then the rest.

    Suo Moto case must be registered by trafic police. Law makers like ministers do not abide the law of land! Real shame, they should rather be role models.. Will trafic police or the law has any excuse for common man or minister for flight timing urgency? I dont think so.

    Police should take a Suo motu case against Khadar for riding without helmet.
    The crime is of far more serious nature when committed by leader!

    So according to you, Khader should have asked someone to buy a helmet from a shop and then wear it and expect the flight to wait for his arrival???? If Khader has done this for public gimmick then he is smart enough to arrange for a helmet beforehand itself. In an emergency situation everyone has to take a shortcut so was the case for Khader to travel without helmet.

    Sensible comment Aam Admi! More over there is no police to regulate traffic jam...where will you get them to slap fine. It was a hurry to catch flight and he was in car...he may not have dreamt of bike ride to carry a helmet...Dear commenters...in such case we may be lenient on Khader Bhai for a change. Hope more and more politicians get caught on traffic and they will think about solutions!!

    He was removed from Health Ministry due to a scam, wherein necessary drugs was bought for higher price then the market price. State government didn't order any probe in it, his portfolio was changed immediately so that this scam does not come into public domain..

    There are 2 RTI Activists working on this, you will hear the good news on Khader soon.
