SP chief Akhilesh was addressing the concerns of minority leaders over tensions between Saharanpur Congress MP Imran Masood and Saharanpur Dehat SP MLA Ashu Malik.
Since Maulana Mohibullah Nadvi filed his nomination from Rampur, Azam Khan's bastion, the SP strongman's supporters have accused party of parachuting 'an outsider' into the seat.
In last-minute decision, party fielded Delhi imam from Rampur as a loyalist of Azam Khan filed his nomination too. SP also changed Moradabad candidate under pressure from jailed leader.
Additional sessions judge (MP/MLA court) Amit Veer Singh Wednesday called 2022 judgment of lower court convicting Azam Khan in 2019 hate speech case 'illegal'.
Suar was formerly held by Azam Khan’s son Abdullah., whose disqualification necessitated the bypoll. While Apna Dal (S) fielded a Muslim candidate, SP fielded former BSP leader Anuradha Chauhan.
This month's bypoll, necessitated by Khan's conviction in hate speech case, saw a Hindu candidate, BJP's Akash Saxena, win in the Muslim-majority constituency for the first time.
No one can claim bias by BJP govt in doling out benefits of welfare schemes, UP CM says in constituency with 50% Muslim population. Urges voters to repeat June Lok Sabha bypoll outcome.
Case was registered against Khan in Rampur on 9 April, 2019 for allegedly making provocative remarks Adityanath and IAS officer Aunjaneya Kumar Singh, the then district magistrate.
Indians tend to fuss more about the damage done to the Indian psyche by Thomas B Macaulay’s infamous Minute of 1835, but he was preceded in this unholy endeavour by James Mill.
A govt official said that although ATF prices for domestic market had been expected to rise 100 per cent in April, increase was moderated to 25 per cent to cushion burden on domestic passengers.
It’s easy to understand why the government can’t speak the hard truth. When this war ends, as all wars do, India’s interests will lie with both the winner and the loser.
