Rampur. There was a time when SP leader Azam Khan’s chill was worth watching. Now after being in jail for a long time, he does not see that chill. On the contrary, now they have come in a position to plead. Azam has now made a new request to UP CM Yogi Adityanath. Azam told the media in Rampur on Saturday that his family was getting threats. In such a situation, he is requesting the UP government that the family and Z category security should be given to them as before. In 2017, when the BJP government came to power in UP, Azam’s security was reduced from Z to Y category car.
I have many threats, my family has many threats. I appeal to Uttar Pradesh government to return my ‘Z’ category security. Right now I have ‘Y’ category security which is of no relevance: Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan in Rampur pic.twitter.com/CCcQkAz1J0

Actually, the police and intelligence agencies constantly see which VIP has to be given how much security. The Z-category security consists of 5 NSG commandos and 22 other security personnel. The Y-class security consists of 2 commandos, the X-class 5 personnel and 11 other jawans. The same number of young people live with Azam Khan these days. Azam said about this that I have an appeal to the state government to return the old security system. My life is in danger with Y category security. Apart from Azam, the Yogi government had also abolished the Z category security of Akhilesh Yadav’s wife Dimple, his uncle Shivpal and Ram Gopal Yadav.
Azam Khan is counted among the strong leaders of UP. However, with the loss of the SP to the BJP, Azam’s troubles also started. He was also accused of taking possession of government land and stealing goats. The UP government has given in writing in the Supreme Court that Azam is a land mafia. Azam was released from jail with great difficulty in the past.
