Minister B.Z. Zameer Ahmed Khan sought exemption from Karnataka CM from hoisting flag on Independence Day: BJP
The Minister informed the CM that he was not in a position to take up the responsibility of hoisting the flag in Vijayanagara district as he needed to focus on preparations for the forthcoming polls to various local bodies
Housing Minister and Congress leader B. Z. Zameer Ahmed Khan faced criticism from the BJP before Independence Day for requesting an exemption from the task of hoisting the national flag in Vijayanagar district. The Chief Minister had previously assigned this duty to Mr. Khan, who was designated for the Vijayanagara district. However, Mr. Khan wrote to the Chief Minister explaining that he was unable to fulfill this responsibility due to his focus on party organization, preparations for upcoming local body elections, and the assessment of drought conditions in the district.
The opposition BJP strongly opposed Mr. Khan's request, labeling it as an insult to the Constitution and a disregard for national pride.
