JD(S) workers staged a protest against Congress legislator Zameer Ahmed on Sunday, criticising the MLA’s remarks against former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy.

Zameer had recently levelled serious allegations against Kumaraswamy over JD(S) fielding a minority community candidate for the Basavakalyan byelection. He had reportedly made disparaging comments regarding the former chief minister’s skin tone.
