2. He is also the former Working President of the District Congress Committee, Nuh.
3. Mamman Khan was earlier in the news for his remarks against the cow vigilante Monu Manesar who is also suspected of instigating violence in Nuh district.
4. Khan had said: “Yeh Monu Manesar kahin Amit Shah ke saath photo khichva raha hai, kahin Arun Jaitley ke saath photo khichva raha hai. Kya darana chahta hai hamein yeh Mewatiyon ko ke mein itna bada aadmi hoon? Abke yeh Mewat mein gaya toh isko pyaaz ki tarah phod denge (This Monu Manesar got his pictures clicked with Amit Shah at one place, with Arun Jaitley at another. Does he want to scare the Mewatis by showing that he is a big man? If he dares visit Mewat again, he will be crushed like an onion).
5. In the Nuh violence, Manesar alleged that Khan had supported the Nuh rioters, along with other Muslim MLAs in the area.
