I did not place explosive in UP Assembly, says Azam Khan
Khan has not been attending the ongoing Budget Aession of the state Assembly and has remained in his constituency in Rampur.
Lucknow: Senior SP leader Mohd Azam Khan said on Saturday that he had not placed the explosive material PETN inside the Uttar Pradesh Assembly.
Talking to reporters in Rampur, he said, “I did not place the explosive under the seat.”
Mr Khan has not been attending the ongoing Budget Aession of the state Assembly and has remained in his constituency in Rampur.
“I am clarifying this before anyone starts making insinuations. My son Abdullah Azam (MLA form Swar Tanda Assembly seat) has been attending the Assembly
session but he has not planted the explosive either,” he said.
Mr Khan, sources said, has stayed away from the UP Assembly session, mainly beca-use he is upset with the Samajwadi leadership.
“Firstly, he was sidelined in the appointment of the Leader of Opposition. Then the Yogi government has been targeting him over his Maulana Jauhar University and the party leadership has not even defended him or supported him. He is naturally upset over these developments, said a MLA close to Mr Khan.
Mr Khan had played a mediator between Mulayam Singh Yadav and Akhilesh Yadav when the war between the father and son had reached its peak.
