LUCKNOW: Irked over the way his party has dealt his case, jailed Samajwadi Party flagbearer and MLA Azam Khan met Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam in Sitapur on Monday. After his brief meeting with Khan, Acharya Pramod said that Khan was a victim of politics.
“The harassment being faced by Azam Khan will have a bearing on the politics of the country in the days to come. He has been put behind bars in cases like goat stealing… Khan would be out of prison soon after the court decides his case,” the Congress leader said. He also presented Azam Khan a copy of the Bhagwad Gita ‘as book of justice’. Citing the case of SP MLA, Krishnam also said that ‘being a Muslim in this country is a crime now’ while adding that the senior MLA was being ‘targeted and tortured’.
