He's 'U-turn Kumaraswamy,' ridicules Zameer, accuses him of buying Muslim votes

DEPUTY Chief Minister and state Congress president DK Shivakumar on Saturday hinted at taking disciplinary action against Housing, Minority Welfare and Waqf Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan for his racist remarks on Union Minister and state JDS chief HD Kumaraswamy.

Speaking to the media in Bengaluru, Shivakumar said, "What Zameer said was wrong... I am saying this as the party's state unit chief. I told him to rectify his mistakes. He has apologised."

In the run-up to the bypolls in Channapatna, Zameer had allegedly addressed Kumaraswamy as "kaala" and "Kaalia" (dark-skinned person). He had also reportedly said that he will buy the Gowda family by raising funds from the Muslim community.

"Zameer attacking Kumaraswamy is a personal issue. But Zameer should not have spoken like that, taking the colour and also the assets (of buying the Gowda family). I am saying this as a party president that Zameer's statement is wrong. Zameer should not have gone to that extent. Personally, I have advised him to rectify his mistakes, and he has apologised. But I cannot reveal what disciplinary action would be taken against him. We are going to correct him," Shivakumar said, adding that Zameer should not have made such remarks even out of affection as claimed by him.
