Karnataka Guv asks Advocate General to take action on plaint against minister Zameer Ahmed Khan
Bengaluru, Nov 11: Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot has asked the Advocate General to take action on a complaint by an activist who alleged that state Minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan is liable for contempt of court proceedings.
Activist T J Abraham approached Gehlot on October 21 with a request to direct the Advocate General to consider his appeal for initiating contempt of court proceedings against Khan.
Abraham alleged that Khan had called the High Court order, which allowed a probe against Siddaramaiah in the MUDA case, a "political judgment".
A Raj Bhavan official told PTI, "We have sent the letter to the Advocate General for necessary action in accordance with law."
Speaking to reporters in Channaptna in Ramanagara district, Khan said it was a slip of tongue and he never meant to insult court.
“I wanted to say that politics is being done on the court order but by mistake I said it’s a political judgment. The next day itself I apologised for my comment in the media. I have respect for the court and I never said so,” the Minister said.
He insisted that he was never adamant on what he said but apologised for the statement.

Will Champai Soren become a game-changer for BJP in Jharkhand polls?
Ranchi: Champai Soren, a prominent figure in Jharkhand’s statehood movement, is contesting the 2024 assembly elections from Seraikela, a seat he has consistently held since 1991.
However, there is a surprising shift in his political journey this year. Having resigned from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) earlier this year, Soren is now representing the BJP, a move that could significantly impact the electoral dynamics in the state.
Soren’s switiching is seen as a strategic benefit for the saffron party, which has been working to expand its appeal among Jharkhand’s tribal communities, a demographic traditionally aligned with the JMM. His departure from the JMM, led by Shibu Soren and his son Hemant Soren, was fueled by dissatisfaction with the state government’s policies, which he claimed had failed to address tribal concerns.
Also known as "Jharkhand’s Tiger" for his instrumental role in the statehood movement of the 1990s, Champai Soren has respect and influence among tribal voters. His decision to switch the party could be a turning point in the BJP’s efforts to gain a stronger hold in a state where tribal votes often decide the outcome.
