No political family faced as much injustice as Azam Khan: Akhilesh Yadav after meeting jailed leader
Yadav accused the BJP of political vendetta and said false cases cannot keep Khan imprisoned forever.
- On Thursday, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav visited senior leader Azam Khan at Rampur district jail, asserting the party is working toward a "regime of social justice" while accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party of targeting Khan.
- Khan has been lodged in jail since November 2025 following a forgery conviction; Yadav alleged that Khan's family has been subjected to "fabricated cases," claiming no political family faced such injustice.
- Yadav accused the ruling dispensation of deliberately targeting Mohammad Ali Jauhar University, stating, "The BJP has no concern for education, nor for anything related to it," while alleging a deliberate conspiracy destroyed the institution.
- The meeting addresses criticism from AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, who has targeted the Samajwadi Party over perceived distance from Khan, as Muslim voters account for around 22 per cent of the electorate.
- With the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections approaching, Yadav aims to solidify his "PDA" formula—Pichhda, Dalit, and Alpsankhyak—to defeat the BJP and mobilize every party worker.
