‘My name is Shahid Ali Khan but I am not a terrorist,’ said the Bihar minister for minority affairs who came under attack by the opposition over his alleged links with Pakistan ISI and terrorist outfit Indian Mujahideen(IM). Using a famous dialogue from Shahrukh Khan starrer My Name is Khan, he said ‘I am Shahid Ali Khan but I am not a terrorist.’
Opposition BJP had on Monday created an uproar over his alleged links with Indian Mujahideen activists in Bihar assembly and legislative council when Khan, the minority affairs minister in the Nitish Kumar government, rose to answer members’ questions.
The minister, who is a JD(U) MLA from Sursand in Sitamarhi district, said the opposition protest against him has no justification. ‘They are trying to use a non-issue against me because of politics,’ he added. The minister had come under the scanner of Sashtra Seema Bal(SSB) for suspected links with Indian Mujahideen activists earlier this month.
