U.T Khader, Speaker of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, donated 20 cents of his land at Punacha village near Vitla in Bantwal to the Dalwai family in the locality to help them continue Naga worship with religious fervour.
This land, a portion of a coconut groove inherited by Mr. Khader from his ancestors, has a Naganakatte (naga bhoomi) and it was earlier under the control of the Dalwai family.
Later, members of the Dalwai family requested Mr. Khader to sell 10 cents of the land. Instead, he gave them 20 cents of land for free.
