Commenting on the Karnataka-Maharashtra border dispute, Shah said that border issues can be settled only by constitutional methods, not on roads.

As the Union Home Minister, I appeal to opposition parties in Maharashtra and Karnataka not to politicise states’ border issue, Amit Shah said.

In order to address the issue a committee of 6 ministers, three each from both states will hold detailed talks to resolve the border issue. Apart from that, to ensure law and order and at all costs, a committee under a senior IPS official will be formed, Shah announced.

Speaking to the media after attending the meeting, Shah said that it has also come to our notice that fake twitter accounts named after senior leaders have played a very big role in flaring up the issue. It has been decided that FIRs will be registered against people behind this and they will be exposed, he announced.

We have held a positive discussion on the ongoing border disputes between Maharashtra and Karnataka., the Union Home minister stressed.
