Tourism Minister H. K. Patil is a former chairman of the border disputes committee.
“As far as the Karnataka government is concerned, the border dispute with Maharashtra is a closed chapter. It is only a political tool in the hands of Maharashtra’s politicians,” said Tourism Minister H. K. Patil, who is a former chairman of the border disputes committee, in Belagavi on November 5.
To a query on the border dispute, where Maharashtra claims all Marathi-speaking areas including Belagavi, the Minister said, “Where is the dispute? There is no dispute at all. For us, it is a settled fact. For Maharashtra’s politicians, it is a political tool. They are reminded of the issue before each election.”
Asked about the ‘black day’ observed by the Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti on every Rajyotsava, the Minister said that such initiatives did not mean that the dispute exists.
