Challakere Kareem Jaffer Sharief (3 November 1933 – 25 November 2018)[2] was an Indian politician. He was one of the senior most Indian National Congress leaders. He was the Railways Minister of the Government of India from 1991 until 1995.[3] On 21st January 2007, major protests were organized by local Hindus when he called a meeting condemning the execution of Sadam Hussein. [4]

Political career

Jaffer Sharief started his career in the Indian National Congress under Nijalingappa. After a split in the Congress, he took the side of Indira Gandhi. As Railways minister, he was instrumental in gauge conversion of railways in the state, where all or most of the different gauges of tracks were converted to broad gauges, and thereby saving Railways a lot of money. He was also instrumental in getting the Wheel and Axle Plant in Bangalore.[2]

In 2012, Sharief was cleared by the Supreme Court of charges relating to expenditure on a trip to London for medical treatment. Sharief had taken several ministry officials with him, which the court found was not inappropriate.[5] Corruption charges were leveled against him during his tenure as Railway Minister.[6]

Personal life

Jaffer Sharief lost three members of his family, with his younger son in 1999, his wife in 2008 and his elder son in 2009, three days before his election to Lok Sabha.[citation needed]

CK Jaffer Sharief died at the age of 85 in Bengaluru on 25 November 2018.[7]
