Mangaluru, Jan 18, 2023: MLA U T Khader has lashed out at the state government proposal on reducing the legal age for buying alcohol from 21 to 18 years.
Speaking to reporters here on January 18, Wednesday, he said the BJP government was only interested in increasing revenue rather than the consequences of such a move on the younger generation at a time when efforts are underway to enlighten younger generation on the ill-effects of alcoholism.
He urged the government to immediately withdraw the proposal failing which the people would themselves take to the streets.
District Congress President Harish Kumar and other party leaders were present.
