U. T. Khader, the Speaker of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, witnessed a rare and proud moment while attending a committee meeting in Odisha on the amendment, evaluation, and strengthening of the anti-defection law.

During the event, Surama Padhy, Speaker of the Odisha Legislative Assembly, respectfully greeted U. T. Khader, and the presence of Rahul Narwekar, Speaker of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, added special significance to the occasion.

This was not merely a personal honor—it was a moment of pride and recognition for Mangalore and the entire state of Karnataka.

Earning such trust, affection, and respect is no small feat. It reflects years of dedication, integrity, and principled leadership. This moment has further elevated Khader’s stature and echoed Karnataka’s strong leadership presence on the national stage.
