Karnataka minister backs security forces, distances from MLA's remarks

Bengaluru, May 16 (UNI) Karnataka Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara on Friday reiterated the state’s commitment to national security and backed the Centre’s counter-terrorism efforts, even as Congress MLA Kothur Manjunath sparked a row by questioning the effectiveness of Operation Sindoor, India’s recent military action targeting terror camps in Pakistan.
Speaking to media, Parameshwara said the government of India had issued special instructions to all armed forces and states following a Pakistan-linked security alert, and Karnataka had stepped up its coastal vigilance.
"As a state, we have a coastal surveillance force that has naturally enhanced its operations. Every vessel is now thoroughly checked before being allowed into Indian waters. The authorities have done a commendable job in following these instructions," he said.
