Maharashtra SP Leader Abu Azmi Questioned Over Aurangzeb Remarks After Securing Bail

Abu Azmi faces police investigation and assembly suspension following controversial statements about Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.

Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Asim Azmi appeared before Mumbai Police on March 12 as part of bail conditions tied to his remarks about Aurangzeb.
Azmi was granted anticipatory bail by a Mumbai sessions court, requiring him to post a ₹20,000 surety bond and comply with scheduled questioning.
The controversy stems from Azmi's comments describing Aurangzeb as a 'good administrator,' which critics allege insulted Hindu sentiments and Maratha history.
Azmi has apologized for his remarks, claiming they were based on historical accounts and accusing political rivals of misrepresenting his words for gain.
The Maharashtra assembly suspended Azmi for the remainder of the budget session, despite his request for the suspension to be revoked.
