Karnataka Guv asks Advocate General to initiate action on complaint against minister

Bengaluru, Nov 11 (PTI) Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot has asked the Advocate General to take action on a complaint by an activist who alleged that state Minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan is liable for the contempt of court proceedings.

Activist T J Abraham approached Gehlot on October 21 with a request to direct the Advocate General to consider his appeal for initiating contempt of court proceedings against Khan.

Abraham alleged that Khan had called the High Court order, which allowed a probe against Siddaramaiah in the MUDA case, a political judgment.
