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.

Bijnor (PTI): Two men were arrested in this Uttar Pradesh district on Friday for allegedly being in touch with a Pakistan-linked handler based in Dubai, police said.
Circle Officer, Najibabad, Anjani Kumar Chaturvedi said Uvaid Malik and Jalal Haider were arrested following inputs on their alleged links with Aqib, a resident of Meerut currently staying in Dubai.
According to police, Aqib had earlier come into the spotlight after a video surfaced on Instagram purportedly showing him displaying an AK-47 rifle and explosives.
During interrogation, the arrested men allegedly told police that Aqib used to incite youngsters against Hindus and encourage anti-national activities, the officer said, adding that detailed questioning of the accused is underway.
On April 6, Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhishek Jha said the video first surfaced in November last year. Aqib, a native of Sathla village in the Mawana area of Meerut, was allegedly seen in the video brandishing weapons.
Following the viral clip, a case was registered at the Nangal police station by sub-inspector Vinod Kumar. However, the then station house officer and investigating officer Satyendra Singh had recorded Aqib's statement and filed a final report, stating that the weapons seen in the video were toys, effectively giving him a clean chit.
Police said fresh developments have now revealed Aqib's suspicious links and the probe has been handed over to the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS).
The SP said action has been taken against the officials concerned, with the then SHO and investigating officer suspended and Circle Officer Nitesh Pratap Singh removed from his post.
