Mangaluru: Almost a couple of weeks ago, an incident about a miscreant desecrating the tombstones of Health Minister Khader’s parents was reported in various media channels. In a compassionate gesture, the minister has offered to bear the cost of educating the miscreant’s children.

Sharif Ullal had desecrated the tombstone of Khader’s parents, former MLA UT Fareed and Naseema in Ullal, Mangaluru on April 30.

Police nabbed Sharif immediately but let him go on the minister’s request.

Sharif who was reportedly guilty of his act, called Khader on Monday and apologised. He told that a few people got him drunk and pressurized him to destroy the tombstones. The minster advised him act responsibly and asked him to educate his children so that they don’t follow his path.

In a noble gesture, Khader also offered to bear the cost of educating the children.
