Mangaluru: Member of Parliament and BJP’s Karnataka state president Nalin Kumar Kateel condemned the “act of terror” in which an explosion occurred in an autorickshaw on Saturday in the city.

In a Twitter post, on Sunday, Nalin wrote “The blast in an autorickshaw in Mangaluru is an act of terrorism and I condemn any such incident.”

Further, the MP said, “Our police department and National Investigation Agency are capable of cracking down on such extremist activities effectively and our government is committed to rooting it out.”

ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಆಟೋರಿಕ್ಷಾದಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಸ್ಫೋಟ ಭಯೋತ್ಪಾದಕ ಕೃತ್ಯವಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಇಂತಹ ಯಾವುದೇ ಘಟನೆಯನ್ನು ನಾನು ಖಂಡಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.

ಇಂತಹ ಉಗ್ರಗಾಮಿ ಚಟುವಟಿಕೆಗಳನ್ನು ಸಮರ್ಥವಾಗಿ ಭೇದಿಸಲು ನಮ್ಮ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಇಲಾಖೆ ಮತ್ತು ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ತನಿಖಾ ದಳ ಸಮರ್ಥವಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಇದನ್ನು ಬುಡಸಮೇತ ಕಿತ್ತುಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ನಮ್ಮ ಸರಕಾರ ಬದ್ಧವಾಗಿದೆ.
