Azam Khan must be sacked immediately, demands Shiv Sena

The Shiv Sena in its mouthpiece Saamna on Wednesday, demanded that Uttar Pradesh Minority Welfare and Urban Development Minister Azam Khan be sacked immediately for writing to the United Nation about the Dadri lynching case.

"Why has Azam never written to the UN about the pathetic condition of Hindus in Pakistan? By writing to the UN about local issues, he has done an anti-national act. He has no right to remain on a constitutional post," Saamna said.

The editorial asserted that Azam Khan be stripped off his post as an MLA and Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and state chief minister Akhilesh Yadav must sack him without delay.

Meanwhile, justifying his decision to take the Dadri lynching case to the UN, Khan had said earlier that if India can raise the issue of Kashmir in the UN, why not about the murder of an innocent man.
