Rampur is family, says SP leader Abdullah Azam

Abdullah Azam, son of senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan, said on Monday while his father was languishing in jail for petty charges, Minister Ajay Mishra Teni’s son who is charged for murder has been granted bail. The Allahabad High Court had granted bail to Ashish Mishra in the Lakhimpur episode case last week.

Mr. Khan, who is lodged in the Sitapur jail is contesting from the Rampur seat, while Mr. Azam is in the fray from the neighbouring Suar constituency. “The public will answer through ballot why a person who has built a university is being troubled because of political agenda, while a minister’s son who has crushed farmers has been granted bail.” Mr. Khan is facing 80 odd cases, ranging from land encroachment and criminal intimidation to goat theft.
