BSP chief Mayawati comes out in support of SP leader Azam Khan, accuses UP government of targeting opponents

Lucknow: Coming out in support of senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan , BSP supremo Mayawati on Thursday said his continued incarceration is being regarded as a “strangulation of justice” by the common man. Mayawati also hit out at the BJP government for allegedly targeting the poor, Dalits, tribals and Muslims and harassment of its political opponents. In a series of tweets, the BSP president said, “In Uttar Pradesh and other BJP ruled states, like the Congress, the manner in which poor, Dalits, tribals and Muslims are being harassed by making them victims of atrocities and fear is very sad, whereas their (BJP) kindness is continuing in the affairs of others.”

1. यूपी व अन्य बीजेपी शासित राज्यों में भी, कांग्रेस की ही तरह, जिस प्रकार से टारगेट करके गरीबों, दलितों, अदिवासियों एवं मुस्लिमों को जुल्म-ज्यादती व भय आदि का शिकार बनाकर उन्हें परेशान किया जा रहा है यह अति-दुःखद, जबकि दूसरों के मामलों में इनकी कृपादृष्टि जारी है। 1/3

Speaking up for Khan, the BSP president said, “In this sequence, the matter of continuous hateful and terror (like) action by the UP government on its opponents and keeping senior MLA Mohammad Azam Khan in jail for about two-and-a-half years is in the news which, in the eyes of the people, if not strangulating justice then what.”

2. इसी क्रम में यूपी सरकार द्वारा अपने विरोधियों पर लगातार द्वेषपूर्ण व आतंकित कार्यवाही तथा वरिष्ठ विधायक मोहम्म्द आज़म खान को करीब सवा दो वर्षों से जेल में बन्द रखने का मामला काफी चर्चाओं में है, जो लोगों की नज़र में न्याय का गला घोंटना नहीं तो और क्या है? 2/3

Khan, a senior SP leader and MLA from Rampur, is currently in jail on several charges including corruption. He has been lodged in Sitapur jail for over two years. In a major relief to him, the Allahabad High Court on Wednesday granted Khan bail in the case of illegal possession of enemy property. Khan, a former state minister, has got bail in 88 out of 89 cases. He will be released from jail only after the bail is granted in the last case. Mayawati, a former Uttar Pradesh chief minister, also slammed the anti-encroachment drive carried out in some places including the national capital by civic authorities. “The manner in which migrants and working people are being made victims of fear and terror in the name of encroachment by adopting a malicious attitude in many states of the country and their livelihood is being snatched, raises many questions and is also a matter of concern,” she added.
