Rahul Gandhi further said that the people of Wayanad had taught him that love has an important place in politics. He explained that he did not use that word, but the people of Wayanad taught him that the word has a great place in politics. He stressed that love and affection are the only weapons that can combat hatred and anger.

JD(S) demands expulsion of Karnataka minister Zammer Ahmed over his racist slur at HD Kumaraswamy

Karnataka minister Zameer Ahmed Khan sparked a massive row over his racist slur against Union minister HD Kumaraswamy.

While addressing a rally in Ramanagara on Sunday, Zammer Ahmed Khan said the Channapatna Congress candidate C P Yogeeshwara had no other option but to join the BJP. He said that due to some differences in his party, Congress, he contested as an independent. He continued that C P Yogeeshwara had no option but to join the BJP, as was not ready to join the JD(S) because ‘Kaaliya Kumaraswamy’ was more dangerous than the BJP.  

C P Yogeeshwara has a direct contest in the Channapatna assembly bypoll against Kumaraswamy’s son Nikhil who is NDA’s candidate on the JD(S) ticket.earlier.

Following Khan’s remark, HD Kumaraswamy’s Janata Dal-Secular (JDS) hit out at the state minister. Taking to X, the party said that the people of the state will give a fitting response to the words of disrespect and his negative mindset towards people of darker skin colour. Furthermore, the JD(S) also sought to know the colour of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, ministers H C Mahadevappa, Satish Jarakiholi, Priyank Kharge and K H Muniyappa.

Asking what difference does it make if a person’s skin colour is black or white, the JD(S) demanded that a low-minded person like Zameer Ahmed Khan should be immediately removed from Congress and Siddaramaiah cabinet.

Additionally, JD(S) ally BJP also came out in Kumaraswamy’s support, as its leaders recalled a similar, racist statement from Indian Overseas Congress chief Sam Pitroda in May.

Union Minister  Kiren Rijiju tweeted that this is a racist remark, same as Rahul Gandhi’s adviser (Sam Pitroda) calling South Indians look like Africans, North East as Chinese, North Indians as Arabs.

Meanwhile, State minister Priyank Kharge urged people to refrain from making racist remarks against others, adding that senior Congress leaders will talk to Zameer Ahmed Khan.
