    Mr. U.T.Khader has done justice to his roll as Health Minister and not necessary to continue in the same field. There are other things which needs his honest service. He will continue as most trusted Minister as he was in the past. All the best Khader Sir

    There are people just trying to attack Khadar. Most of them are bhaktas and they cannot see any good in him. The fact is that Khadar has done an exceptional job as a Minister of Health. A gentleman to the core he has a love for the poor. I do not think any previous Ministers have done the work he has done. Thanks Khadar. Whether people like you or not you have done a wonderful work as a Minister of Health. Everyone in the Ministry had a good word for your work

    Now the doctors can breath easy. He was just troubling the doctors so much so that his cronies used to barge into the hospital casualty and manhandle and threaten the doctors and nurses. He might be a good man but people close to him have misused their proximity to him.

    Revamp was required to clear some rust if any. Also new blood or eyes will energize the ministries. As expected Mr. Pramod Madhwaraj got the ministry in a field where he is an expert. Let all ministers gear up to achieve. This is a last lap for them.
