BJP MLA demands action against Azam Khan for allegedly misusing govt land

[ad_1]
Difficulties for Samajwadi Party leader and former minister Azam Khan do not seem to be abating. The demand for action has intensified on Darul Awam, the Samajwadi Party office of Azam Khan in Rampur. Allegations have surfaced that the place from where Samajwadi Party’s district office Darul Awam is being operated in Rampur is government land. In 2012, Azam Khan had taken it from the government on lease for 30 years for Rs. 100 per year to open the office of his Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar University. It has been alleged that Azam Khan is running the party office in the name of the trust.
BJP MLA Akash Saxena has complained about this to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, alleging that Azam Khan has run the office of the Samajwadi Party at this place in violation of the terms of the lease. The demand of the BJP MLA is that the government should take over the land after canceling its lease. The district administration has also started an investigation into the complaint of the BJP MLA. According to the Rampur district administration, the matter is being investigated, and action will be taken based on evidence.
Azam Khan had taken this land on lease in 2012 as soon as Akhilesh Yadav’s SP came to power in Uttar Pradesh. Two leases were written, one for 25109 square feet area and the other for 16072 square feet area, with the rent for both fixed at only Rs. 100-100 per year. Both these leases were written between Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar Trust Chairman Azam Khan (lessee) and the authorized officer (lessor) PN Tripathi, Deputy Secretary, Department of Secondary Education, Government of Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow, on behalf of the Governor of UP.

This land was given to Azam Khan’s Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar Trust to build a university and its office, but the BJP MLA alleges that Azam Khan is continuously conducting his party’s political activities from here and is using it for SP’s district office, which is a violation of rules. Therefore, the lease should be canceled, and action should be taken against Azam Khan for misusing government land.
Earlier, the office of Murtuja Higher Secondary School and District Basic Education Officer Rampur was established on this land. After taking this land on lease, Azam Khan has run his Rampur Public School in one part and SP office Darul Awam on the other part. However, Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar Trust had leased this land for the purpose of opening an office for building a university, which was taken. That’s why now BJP MLAs are demanding that the lease be canceled and the land be handed over to the government.
On the complaint of the BJP MLA, the district administration has started an investigation of this matter in Rampur. In this matter, Samajwadi Party leader Mashkoor Ali Munna says that all the work of Samajwadi Party is done from Azam Khan’s office Darul Awam in Rampur, and the meetings of the party are also held from there only. However, Azam Khan has not revealed whose land it is until now.

Man caught on CCTV throwing ‘black magic’ bundle inside Azam Khan’s house; arrested

[ad_1]
Rampur: SP leader Azam Khan’s wife has lodged a police complaint against an unidentified man alleging that he threw a small bundle inside the main gate of her house containing random articles, including clothes, and expressed fear that it may be associated with “black magic”.
Police said they have arrested the man who is mentally challenged and also suspended four of its personnel — deployed outside Khan’s house — for dereliction of duty.

Superintendent of Police Ashok Kumar Shukla said, “A mentally challenged person was responsible for throwing a bundle inside the house of Azam Khan. He has been arrested and efforts are being made to send him to a mental institution.”
“Four police personnel deployed in the security at the house of Azam Khan were suspended for dereliction of duty,” added the SP.
According to the complaint filed by Tazeen Fatma, a former MP, the incident happened around 6 am on Thursday.
The man throwing the bundle inside was captured on CCTV installed outside the house but could not be recognised immediately.
Fatma wrote a letter to the Rampur superintendent of police reporting the incident and expressed fear that it could be a part of a big conspiracy.
In her letter, Fatma also wondered how could such a breach take place when the house is guarded round the clock by state police and other security personnel.

Additional Superintendent of Police Sansar Singh said they were informed late Thursday that a bundle, wrapped in black foil, had been thrown inside Khan’s residence and it contained some clothes, a cap, and a few other articles.
Khan has been an MP from Rampur parliamentary constituency and MLA from Rampur assembly constituency 10 times. His assembly membership ended after a local court sentenced him in a hate speech case.
He also has several criminal cases registered against him and was released from jail after getting bail last year.

SC refuses to stay conviction of Abdullah Azam Khan in criminal case, seeks UP’s reply

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to stay the conviction and sentence of senior Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Azam Khan’s son Abdullah Azam Khan in a 15-year-old case without hearing the state.
A bench of justices KM Joseph and BV Nagarathna asked senior advocate Vivek Tankha and advocate Sumeer Sodhi to serve the copy of the petition to the standing counsel of Uttar Pradesh government and posted the matter for further hearing on April 5.
Tankha said Khan was a juvenile at the time of offence and hence his conviction and sentence be stayed.
“Sorry, for that we will have to hear the state also,” the bench said.
During the hearing, Tankha said Khan was juvenile at the time of incident and the high court has erred in not staying the session court’s order.
In his plea filed through Sodhi, Khan said he has challenged the order of Allahabad High Court dated March 17 by which it had asked the state to respond to the appeal in three weeks.
“The high court failed to appreciate the fact that if the application is not decided expeditiously then the same would be rendered infructuous and the petitioner would suffer irreparable harm which no court of competent jurisdiction would be able to undo even if the application is decided in favour of the petitioner,” it said.
Giving the detail of the case, he said the trial court had on February 13, convicted him for offences punishable under section 353 and 341 of IPC and other offences and sentenced him to undergo two years of simple imprisonment with a fine of Rs 2,000.

He said subsequent to the order of the trial court, the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly secretariat on February 15, notified that Suar constituency of Rampur district of Uttar Pradesh has become vacant with effect from February 13.
Khan said he appealed the verdict of the trial court before additional sessions judge Rampur and also filed an application for stay of conviction and sentence but the court on February 28 dismissed the plea and application.
He said that on the same day he approached the high court against the order of the sessions court but the high court on March 17, granted a time period of three weeks to the state government to respond to his plea.
“In a nutshell, the case of the SLP petitioner before this court is that the impugned order passed by the high court is bad in law as the said order is passed without taking into account the urgent requirement of the issues involved in the application preferred by the petitioner,” the plea said.
Khan said that non-adjudication of his application in a time bound manner would render the same infructuous and therefore it is imperative that the high court considers the application as soon as possible, given the potential consequences of the conviction and sentence, which may include re-election on his assembly seat in the assembly.
“The petitioner believes that during the pendency of the application before the high court, by-election to the Rampur constituency would be announced. The petitioner is concerned that if such an announcement is made and thereafter, the high court passes a stay order the same would be rendered moot due to the announcement of the by-elections,” his plea said.
Khan said his conviction is legally unsustainable as he was a minor when the offence was committed.
“There are judicial orders to the effect that the date of birth of the petitioner is January 1, 1993, hence the petitioner was merely 15 years old at the time of commission of the offence in question. Accordingly, the entire trial proceedings are flawed,” he said.
The FIR against Khan, Azam and seven others was lodged in 2008.
Khan had sat on dharna on a state highway on January 29, 2008 as their cavalcade was stopped by police for checking in the wake of an attack on a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp in Rampur in Uttar Pradesh on December 31, 2007.
The FIR was lodged at the Chhajlait police station.
While Khan and Azam were sentenced to two years in jail under section 353 (criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty) and other provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the seven other accused were exonerated.

Rahul Gandhi or Azam Khan, legislators disqualified on basis of law: UP minister

[ad_1]
Noida: Uttar Pradesh minister Asim Arun on Saturday said the rule of law applies to everyone whether it is Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, SP’s Azam Khan or a BJP politician.
Responding to an allegation by Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, who has said that the BJP was trying to lodge false cases against opposition leaders and get them disqualified, the social welfare minister said a member of the ruling BJP had to lose his membership of the UP Assembly last year after his conviction.
Vikram Saini, a two-term MLA from Khatauli, was disqualified as a legislator in 2022 after he was sentenced to two years in prison by a court in a case related to the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots.
“He had a criminal case against him and he got convicted in it. His seat fell vacant and bye-election was held on it,” Arun said.
The BJP fielded his wife in the bye-election but the RLD candidate won from there.
“The crucial element here is we all know what Rahul Gandhi said. Do you feel it amounts to defamation? I feel yes, it does. You read the lawbook and according to Section 499 (of the IPC), it is clearly defamation,” Arun said.
“Second, the speed of justice. The case was lodged in 2019 and it’s almost four years and the speed should be even greater, particularly for MP/MLA courts because they were made to ensure speedy legal proceedings in such cases,” the former IPS officer said during a visit to the National Capital Region.
Whether it is Azam Khan or his son Abdullah, every case has gone through a robust legal process, he said.

“Now Rahul Gandhi or other politicians who have been convicted have legal recourse and I am sure they must have taken that route. Either their conviction may not have got commuted or the sentence stayed because of which they have been disqualified. This is fundamentally about the rule of law, which must apply to everyone including politicians, which is happening,” the minister said.
Gandhi was sentenced to two years in jail after a Surat court convicted him in a 2019 criminal defamation case on Thursday. The next day, the Lok Sabha Secretariat issued a notification disqualifying him as an MP.

With youngster Muhammad Haris smashing Mohammad Amir for a brilliant four to start the innings. Babar also smashed a solid cover drive against Amir in the first over. The two stars faced off again in the sixth over of the match where Amir drifted off his line, bowling a relatively easier delivery down the leg side.

Wasim and veteran Shoaib Malik combined in a meticulous 131-run stand and raised the home team’s hopes, but the side eventually fell short in a dramatic run-chase.

Babar Azam’s Peshawar Zalmi pulled off a thrilling two-run win over Karachi Kings in the second match of Pakistan Super League 2023 on Tuesday.

Azam Khan sworn in as caretaker CM of Pak’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

[ad_1]
Peshawar: Former bureaucrat Muhammad Azam Khan was sworn in as the caretaker chief minister of Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province at a ceremony held here on Saturday.
Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Haji Ghulam Ali administered oath to Khan, whose name for the role was finalised after talks between outgoing chief minister Mahmood Khan and leader of the Opposition Akram Khan Durrani.
The swearing-in ceremony took place at the Governor House in Peshawar and was attended by civil and military officials. Earlier on Saturday, Ali formally appointed Khan as the caretaker chief minister of the province in the interim set-up.
Khan has previously served as the finance minister of the province. He was also the chief secretary of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from September 1990 to July 1993.
Khan’s name was announced at a joint press conference by outgoing chief minister Khan and Durrani.
“We decided on Azam Khan’s name after consultation with our leader,” Khan said.
“We agreed on Azam Khan as our consensus candidate. We have chosen a person who is acceptable to all,” Durrani was quoted as saying by the Express Tribune newspaper.
He said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and former defence minister Pervez Khattak played an important role in reaching the consensus.

Talking to reporters after the appointment, Khan vowed to extend “complete cooperation” to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for holding “free and fair elections” in the province.
He said that efforts would be made to further strengthen the security situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and control inflation in the province, the Dawn newspaper reported.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly stood dissolved on Wednesday after the governor signed and approved the chief minister’s summary on the orders of PTI chief and ex-premier of Pakistan Imran Khan for the dissolution of the provincial legislature.
The government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Tuesday sent a summary to the governor for the approval of the dissolution of the provincial assembly before midnight, a move aimed at forcing the federal government to announce snap polls.
“In pursuance of provisions of Article 112(1) of the Constitution of Pakistan, I do hereby forward my advice for dissolution of the provincial assembly of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on 17th January 2023,” outgoing chief minister Khan said in a statement.
The KP Assembly was dissolved almost months before the expiry of its mandated period. The current assembly was to expire on August 13 this year.
On January 14, the Punjab Assembly was dissolved despite the Punjab governor’s refusal to sign the summary for the provincial assembly’s dissolution.
Former premier Khan in a bid to force the government to hold early general elections ordered the dissolution of provincial assemblies in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Political pundits believe that the federal government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is in no mood to succumb to pressure from Khan whatsoever for holding general elections in the country before the expiry of the scheduled time in August this year.
The federal government will straight away go for holding elections in two provinces – Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa – after the dissolution of the assemblies.
Federal Information Minister Maryum Aurangzeb has clearly stated that general elections as per the constitution of the country will be held in October this year.
