An FIR has been registered against Maharashtra Samajwadi Party (SP) chief and MLA Abu Azmi over his alleged remarks defending Mughal ruler Aurangzeb. His statement has sparked widespread controversy, drawing sharp criticism from political leaders across the spectrum.
The case follows a formal complaint lodged by Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske, who approached the Wagle Estate Police Station earlier today.
The controversy erupted after Azmi made the remarks while addressing reporters in Mumbai at the commencement of the Maharashtra Assembly session. Following his remarks, Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske filed a complaint at Thane’s Wagle Estate Police Station, leading to an FIR being registered against Azmi.
Mhaske filed the complaint, leading to the registration of a case under similar BNS sections. Azmi’s comments, made during a media interaction in the Marine Drive area, centered on his defense of Aurangzeb as a “good administrator.”
