Anger with Shivpal Yadav, nephew of Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohia) chief Shivpal Yadav, is not new. But now he has started expressing dissatisfaction with elder brother Mulayam Singh Yadav as well. Despite standing with son Akhilesh in the power struggle, Shivpal has been calling Mulayam like a father till now, but now he is not missing out on targeting. Praspa Chief has once again accused Mulayam Singh Yadav regarding Azam Khan that he did not try to release him.
Shivpal Yadav, after attending a program in Lucknow on Tuesday, expressed the pain of Azam in a conversation with reporters and said that Mulayam Singh Yadav should have worked for his release. He said, “It has been 26 months (in jail) by taking Azam bhai in petty cases, he is being harassed. In trouble, in trouble.
Shivpal further said, “Atrocities are happening with him (Azam Khan). When atrocities are happening, everyone should help. We went too. I had said that under the leadership of Netaji, especially the Samajwadi Party, Netaji should have led. They have been kept locked up for 26 months in false and petty cases. It is worth mentioning that Shivpal Yadav, who has declared rebellion, is trying to bring Azam Khan, who is angry with SP, with him. He had met the veteran Muslim leader of SP by going to Sitapur Jail recently.
Shivpal Yadav had said earlier also that if Akhilesh Yadav and Mulayam Singh Yadav wanted, Azam Khan could have come out of jail. Azam’s close friends have also accused Akhilesh Yadav of ignoring and neglecting his leader. Akhilesh Yadav sent some of his leaders to Sitapur jail as part of damage control effort, but Azam Khan refused to meet.
