Ullal is known for communal harmony and some social organizations are trying to use the recent raid of the National Investigation Agency on a house in the area to project it as a hub of terrorist activity, said U.T. Khader, Mangaluru MLA, here on Friday. Talking to reporters, he said there is no question of Ullal residents encouraging anti-national activities. “They are as patriotic as other residents and live in solidarity with all communities. Nobody here supports terrorist activities,” he said. The NIA, the MLA said, raided the house of former Ullal MLA and late poet B.M. Idinabba in Ullal, among the five places searched in relation to investigation into an ISIS Kerala module. “The NIA is doing its investigation but is yet to give a clear picture (about the activities of ISIS). It is improper to say anything at this stage and politicise the issue.”
