Karnataka Congress MLA and former Minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan, whose properties were recently searched by the Enforcement Directorate, on Saturday alleged that he was being targeted as part of a conspiracy to "harass" influential Muslim leaders in various States of the country.
He even claimed that a list of such influential Muslim leaders has been prepared.
"My people are my assets. Until I'm in politics, I will not do anything because of which my people will have to bow their heads in shame," Khan said.
In a series of tweets, he said he was happy that the ED raids have "cleared" the doubts many people had about him. "Constructing a house is being projected as my biggest crime. This is the reason why ED raided me. The expectation with which ED raided me has turned out to be false. A list of influential Muslim leaders from different states have been prepared and attempts are on to harass them. As part of this conspiracy I'm being targeted, but I will not fear for such things," he added.
