Khan entered politics during the mid-1960s, a period marked by the anti-Hindi agitations in southern India. He joined the Indian National Congress led by Indira Gandhi.[4]
He served as general secretary of the Karnataka Youth Congress and was elected to the Karnataka Legislative Council from 1974 to 1976.[4]
Khan was elected twice to the Rajya Sabha, representing Karnataka from 1976 to 1988.[5] During his parliamentary career, he was regarded as a close associate of former Karnataka chief minister R. Gundu Rao and was considered an influential political figure during that period.[4]
He later withdrew from active politics after his parliamentary tenure.[4]
Apart from politics, Khan was associated with sports administration and served as vice-president of the Indian Olympic Association.[4]
He married to Nasteen Sultana with three daughters.[3]
