Mysuru, June 20: MLA and former minister Tanveer Sait said that he was ready to fight with Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan either politically or personally, not before the media.

Responding to the statement of Minister Zameer that he would come to NR Constituency and show his strength, here on Wednesday, Tanveer Sait said that he heard the Minister’s statement. One who has decency would not have spoken like that. He was ready to fight with Zameer either politically or personally. But he would not take him before the media, he said.

“He does not have the leadership that our community accepts. In the last election, he has worked for wicket people. Show of strength does not mean that bringing people. Instead, he should win the hearts of the people. There is nothing to show my ego whether I have gone out of my constituency or not. Majority of the Muslim community people were in favour of the Congress. We have asked four ministerial berths for our community. Some communities have asked Deputy Chief Minister post. I don’t know whether they have supported the Congress or not. But Muslims were supporting the Congress. In my opinion, we are not asking posts in one voice. High command has asked me not to embarrass the party and I am following it. I would neither accept the challenge nor reject it. It is left to Zameer to come to the constituency. I have brought this to the notice of the leadership. Those who have come to party recently do not have knowledge about the Congress principle. For this reason, I have opposed him”, he clarified.
