‎Mangaluru‎‎ : The deputy leader of opposition in the assembly UT Khader on Saturday asked the state government to take serious note of the threatening posts being circulated in the name of the Muslim Defense Force (MDF) on the social media.‎

Speaking at a press conference at the district Congress office here, Khader said that the government should take bold action against any organization or individuals who put up such posts which are detrimental to the peace and well-being of the society.

There is a possibility that the website/posts may have been created by imposters, he said and urged that police should take stern action to curb such acts online.

People sitting in remote places need not threaten women. Their parents and religious leaders can provide the necessary guidance, he said.
