Cancel Zameer Ahmed Khan's legislative membership, says B.P. Yatnal
B.P. Yatnal, the expelled BJP leader and Vijayanagar district in-charge minister, has called for the cancellation of Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan's legislative membership. Yatnal alleged that Khan had insulted the national flag by declining to accept the in-charge ministry position and to hoist the flag on Independence Day. The MLA, addressing reporters in Vijayapura on Saturday, accused Khan of being a religious fundamentalist and a communal-minded leader.
Yatnal urged the Union government to amend the Constitution to prevent leaders who disrespect the national flag from contesting elections for life.
