Centre’s move in the interest of country, says BJP which skipped all-party meeting
At an all-party meeting convened by Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Monday, the Congress, the Shiromani Akali Dal and the Aam Aadmi Party passed a resolution against the Center’s decision on enhancing the jurisdiction of the Border Security Force (BSF). The BJP, however, boycotted the meeting asserting the decision is in the interest of the country.
The meeting resolved to oppose the decision legally and politically and fight for the position which existed before the notification of October 11, 2021.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
