  • After being suspended for the entire duration of the ongoing Maharashtra budget session over his remarks on Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, Samajwadi Party (SP) MLA Abu Azmi called the suspension "arbitrary" and alleged threats to his life and his family.

Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi has described his suspension from the Maharashtra Assembly as "arbitrary" and has raised concerns about threats to his life and family. Azmi was suspended for the remainder of the Budget session after he refused to chant 'Vande Mataram' during a protest against the suspension of other opposition MLAs. He argued that his suspension was unjust as he was merely expressing his religious beliefs, which prohibit him from chanting certain slogans. Azmi also mentioned that he has been receiving threats since the incident, which he believes are linked to his stance. He has sought protection from the state government, highlighting the need for security due to the ongoing threats.
