Abu Azmi Row: CM Yogi Spits Fire In UP Assembly

Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on the Samajwadi Party (SP) for defending its Maharashtra MLA Abu Azmi over his praise for Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.

Speaking in the UP Assembly, CM Yogi Adityanath slammed the Samajwadi Party for supporting its Maharashtra legislator Abu Azmi over latter's eulogy for the Mughal invader. He said that those who see Aurangzeb as hero have no right to live in the country and demanded that the SP expels him for his controversial remarks on Mughal ruler. Further on a lighter note, he said, "Send Abu Azmi to Uttar Pradesh, we will give him good treatment". CM Yogi also invoked socialist leader Ram Manohar Lohia and slammed the SP for forgetting its ideological roots.
