UT Khader: 'One Nation Will Have One Anthem'
In an interview with India Today, UT Khader, Minister for Health and Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka, addressed key national and state issues, including the controversy surrounding 'Vande Mataram', youth engagement, public examination paper leaks, and food hygiene enforcement in Karnataka. Speaking on national symbols, Khader asserted, "One nation will have one national anthem," noting that political debates around 'Vande Mataram' are intended "to distract the mind of the people." He defended youth activism and recalled the historical reduction of the voting age to eighteen, while addressing grievances over national entrance exam paper leaks. Responding to questions on public administration, Khader detailed the state government's efforts to generate employment and enforce strict health and hygiene standards across commercial eateries, government canteens, and prominent clubs in Karnataka, emphasizing that public safety and quality food access remain non-negotiable state priorities.
