Azam Khan threatened my daughters: Amar Singh

August 28, 2018 19:28

Rajya Sabha member Amar Singh today accused SP leader Azam Khan of threatening his minor daughters with an acid attack and said he will seek security for them.

Amar Singh, who has been expelled from the SP, said he will meet Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik tomorrow with the demand.

I want security for my daughters, who feel threatened, he said.

Singh also demanded a probe into the funding of Rampur's Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar University, headed by Azam Khan as its chancellor.

Singh claimed Azam Khan had threatened him and his twin 17-year-old daughters during an interview to a television channel.

The former SP leader said he will be in Rampur on August 30 and asked Khan to "sacrifice" him and spare his daughters.

He said western Uttar Pradesh saw no riots even at the time of Partition, but there were clashes when Azam Khan was in charge of the region under the previous SP government.

Singh said Azam Khan did not have the right to stay in the country.

He called the Samajwadi Party Namazwadi Party'.
