Have donated money to National Herald : Karnataka Dy CM DK Shivakumar

Amid reports of his name figuring in the ED charge sheet in the National Herald case, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Friday said he and his brother D K Suresh have donated money to the Congress-run newspaper.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah backed his deputy, saying there is nothing wrong in donating money.

"Me and D K Suresh donated Rs 25 lakh each to National Herald. What is wrong in that. We have donated to a newspaper run by our party. What's wrong in that," Shivakumar told reporters in Kolhar village in Vijayapura district.

He was responding a question by a journalist that his as well as his brother D K Suresh's name figures in Enforcement Directorate charge sheet in the National Herald case.
