A delegation of Rampur farmers met Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik here Sunday, urging him to help them get back the "land of farmers" from senior SP leader Azam Khan.

The former Uttar Pradesh minister was named in the FIRs lodged in connection with alleged forcible acquisition of land for Mohammad Ali Jauhar University, of which he is the founder and Chancellor.

In a statement issued here, Congress leader Faisal Khan Lala said, "A 12-member delegation met UP Governor Ram Naik and handed over a memorandum to him, informing that despite being mentioned in the list of land grabbers, Azam Khan is unwilling to leave the land of farmers and poor people."
