Title : Need to implement Mahajan Commission’s Report of finding a permanent solution to the border dispute between Karnataka and Maharashtra.
SHRI M. SHIVANNA (CHAMRAJANAGAR): The border problem between Karnataka and Maharashtra has come up again. It is most unfortunate that the Belgaum Municipal Corporation has passed a resolution stating that Belgaum should be transferred to Maharashtra. Now, there is the problem of law and order at the border areas. Agitations are held on both sides. These should be stopped forthwith. Common people should not become the target of some of these unlawful elements.
Our forefathers, freedom fighters, rulers like Kittur Ranichennamma fought for the freedom of the country as a whole and not for any one State. This fact realized by both the States and the Centre. They have to find out a permanent solution to this long pending problem.
Hence, I request the Central Government to implement the Mahajan Commission’s Report in toto without any further delay.
