"Some people have launched a campaign against me, maybe they don't like me, a man from the desert being at the helm," Bin Hammam told Qatari television station Al Kass.
"Shaikh Salman is not doing this on his own, he is doing this at the instruction of others, especially people in the (South) Korean federation," he said.
After the interview, Bin Hamman sought to play down comments that he had threatened to “cut off the head” of new KFA chief Cho Chung-yun.
"It is a popular, harmless and widely used Arabic metaphor," Bin Hammam said. "It means to halt someone's plans or nip in the bud someone's progress."
The Korean Football Association is demanding an apology.
