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.

Thane (PTI): Three persons were killed in a major fire that broke out in a slum cluster in Thane district of Maharashtra, triggering the explosion of multiple LPG cylinders, a civic official said on Saturday.
The blaze erupted at around 8.30 PM on Friday in the Navghar area of Mira Bhayander at Indralok slum colony, Chief Fire Officer of Mira Bhayander Municipal Corporation (MBMC) Prakash Borade told PTI.
Flames were visible from a long distance as the fire quickly spread through the densely packed cluster of temporary huts made of thatch and cloth, he said.
Around 30 to 35 huts were gutted in the incident. Several gas cylinders exploded during the blaze. Fire personnel managed to remove as many as 24 cylinders from the site, some of them filled and others empty, the official said.
Firefighters battled the blaze for nearly an hour before bringing it under control, Borade said.
The three deceased were charred beyond recognition, and their bodies have been sent to a government hospital for postmortem, he added.
The exact cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained.
