Home Minister hints at disciplinary action against Waqf Minister Zameer
During his poll campaign in Channapatna, for the recent Assembly by-poll, Zameer Ahmed referred Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy as ‘Kaalia’ and had said that Muslims can buy the entire family of former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda.
Speaking to reporters at Hotel Southern Star on Vinoba Road this morning, Dr. Parameshwara, who arrived in the city on a private visit, acknowledged that even the KPCC President D.K. Shivakumar himself admitted Zameer’s remarks had hurt the party. Even a few party leaders have said that Zameer’s statement had an impact on the recently held by-election.
He noted that the Disciplinary Committee, led by Minister Rahim Khan, could take necessary action following an investigation. Highlighting his earlier tenure as the head of the Disciplinary Committee, Dr. Parameshwara mentioned that he had previously summoned party leaders — irrespective of seniority and status — for their controversial statements and if necessary, even suspended them upon verification of charges.
