Rampur (Uttar Pradesh): Demanding the release of Azam Khan and his son Abdullah Azam, who are languishing in the Sitapur District Jail, the Samajwadi Party leaders from Rampur in Uttar Pradesh and their supporters have adopted a novel way for their release by printing on their wedding invitations, "Release Azam Khan and Abdullah Azam." It may be recalled that Azam Khan, a prominent Samajwadi Party leader and Rampur MP and his son Abdullah Azam have been lodged in the Sitapur District Jail for the past one-and-a-half years.
Azam Khan has been facing more than 100 cases since Yogi Adityanath came to power in Uttar Pradesh and has been in jail ever since. Azam Khan's supporters have been protesting in various ways demanding their release.
District president of Samajwadi Party Student Union Vebhu Yadav has registered his protest against the government in a unique way by printing their names on his wedding card demanding their release. "Our leaders Azam Khan and Abdullah Azam Khan should be released," Yadav said in his invitation.
