Mangalore, Sep 10: The Muslim Merchants Association has expressed strong opposition to the appointment of ex-minister B Nagaraj Shetty to the chairmanship of the newly-formed Karnataka Coastal Development Authority. It has dubbed this appointment, as an injustice meted out to secular citizens of the twin districts.
It has alleged that when Shetty was the district-in-charge minister, he had engineered communal violence in the district. Before these bitter memories could be erased, Nagaraj Shetty has been made the chairman of the Coastal Development Authority. This has created a sense of insecurity and apprehension among the people of the entire coast, Association leaders Ali Hassan and Yasin Kudroly explained, in a press release.
