Samajwadi Party general secretary and the Muslim face of the party Mohammad Azam Khan plays communal card during Azamgarh rally when he demanded Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi to seek an apology over his statement of Pakistan intelligence agencies in touch with Muslim youths of Muzaffarnagar riots.
If The congress leaders do not make any apology then it would mean that the recent serial bomb blasts in Patna before the Narendra Modi's rally has some links with the ISI,' he alleged while addressing the first public rally of the Samajwadi Party here to launch the election campaign for the lok Sabha polls. He said that Rahul Gandhi would be blamed for the Patna blasts which took place after his comment and if he did not seek apology then it would give a wrong signal. The IB official who briefed Rahul Gandhi should also be punished as why he briefed a political person,'he said.
Concentrating his speech to woo the Muslim voters for the Party, Azam Khan castigated Narendra Modi for terming Muslims as puppies. 'We are younger brother of Mr Modi and if we are puppies, then as an elder brother he is just bigger than a puppy,'he said. The firebrand SP leader also did not spared the Muslim leaders who are now saying that
Muslim can consider Modi if he changes his ideologies. 'These leaders are trying to confuse the community and was supporting a murderer. Not a single muslim can tolerate Modi or the ideolgies of the BJP,'he said. The UP minister said that RSS was propogating that Hindus should give more birth to children to counter the Muslims but in reality as per the census report Muslim’s are giving birth to children less than the Hindus. He said ,' Na tera, na mera, yeh Hindustan hai sabka, agar Nasamjhi hui to nuksan hai sabka,'.
Azam Khan appreciated Mulayam Singh Yadav for his secular credential and asked the people to support him terming him as a 'national property which should be protected'. However the 35 minutes speech of the leader circulated around the deeds of the SP government and its contribution to the development of the Muslims and Backwards.
