Samajwadi Party Vows to Erase 'False Cases' Against Azam Khan Upon Return to Power

Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav expressed relief and hope following veteran leader Azam Khan's release from Sitapur jail, where he spent nearly two years. Yadav announced that all 'false' cases against Khan would be dropped once the party regains power in Uttar Pradesh, drawing parallels with the BJP's precedent.

Yadav, the former Chief Minister, criticized the current government, claiming they rescinded legal actions against their own leaders. Pledging similar action for SP allies and journalists, Yadav signaled his intention to rectify what he described as biased legal confrontations.

The discussion, deeply rooted in caste politics, highlighted PDA (Pichda, Dalit, Alpasankhyak) alignments, with Yadav condemning casteism exemplified by BJP supporters' actions. He underscored the importance of court justice and unity against caste discrimination, resonating Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia's and Mulayam Singh Yadav's ideologies.
