BANGALORE: U.T. Fareed, Congress MLA, who passed away in Ullal on Tuesday morning, was a member of the 5th, 6th, 11th and 12th Legislative Assemblies.

The Assembly paid tributes to him on Tuesday. Speaker Krishna, who led the House in paying homage to the legislator, recalled his services to the State.

Home Minister M.P. Prakash and Water Resources Minister K.S. Eshwarappa remembered Mr. Fareed's contribution to society and the Muslim community in particular. Leader of the Opposition N.

Senior member M. Mallikarjun Kharge, S.S. Patil and Dinesh Gundu Rao (all Congress) recalled his contribution to the cooperative sector.

G.V. Srirama Reddy (CPI-M), Vatal Nagaraj (Kannada Chaluvali Vatal Paksha), J.C. Madhuswamy (JD-U) and N. Yogish Bhat (BJP) offered their condolences.
