Bypolls: Waqf minister's remark on Kumaraswamy triggers controversy
The Morning Standard
|November 12, 2024
WITH just two days for byelections to the legislative Assembly in the state, Housing and Waqf Minister Zameer Ahmed made a controversial remark by calling Union Minister and former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy "Kaala (dark complexion) Kumaraswamy".
-
BJP and JDS leaders were quick to launch a scathing attack on Zameer for his derogatory remark and urged Ramanagara Police to initiate action against him.
While campaigning for Channapatna Congress candidate CP Yogeshwara on Sunday evening, Zameer said, "If there is anyone who can defeat 'Kaaliya Kumaraswamy', it is tiger Yogeshwara."
During his speech, the minister used words such as 'Kaaliya' and 'Kaala' to target Kumaraswamy. A video of the speech has gone viral and netizens too have slammed Zameer.
