UP Women Seek Azam Khan's Apology, Term His Conduct Shameful

Lucknow: Samajwadi Party MP Mohd Azam Khan is not only facing flak for his indecent remarks against a woman presiding officer in the Lok Sabha, but he is also on the target of women in Uttar Pradesh. Shaista Amber, President of the All India Muslim Women’s Personal Law Board (AIMWPLB) termed Azam Khan’s conduct “shameful”.

“He should have realised that he was addressing the chair and not just a woman or his sister. What example is he setting for the younger generation? If women are being targeted like this inside Parliament, who can guarantee their security outside? I feel he should be given punishment as per law so that such instances do not happen again,” she said. Sushma Patel, a first-time Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLA said: “The language used by Azam Khan has hurt the dignity and honour of women. He should apologise in Parliament as well as to all women.” (IANS)
