Lucknow: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav met with senior party member Azam Khan in Rampur jail on Thursday, accusing the BJP government of unjustly treating Khan and his family through false allegations. The one-hour meeting concluded with Yadav asserting that no political family had faced such unjust treatment as Khan's. Yadav maintained that the cases against Khan would not suppress the truth for long, emphasizing the enduring nature of the truth.
He also expressed concern over Khan's health during the meeting, highlighting his longstanding relationship with the veteran leader. Yadav criticized the BJP for their alleged lack of concern for education and universities, citing the ruin of Mohammad Ali Jauhar University, which Khan established in Rampur. This meeting is significant given Khan's long-standing association with the Samajwadi Party and his political influence in Rampur and western Uttar Pradesh.
The SP chief's strong defense of Khan is also notable in the context of the party's strategic positioning ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, as it underscores the perception of a political vendetta against the veteran leader.
