RAMPUR: Samajwadi Party MP Azam Khan’s name has been put on an online list of land mafias by the district administration here following FIRs registered against him, drawing strong protest from his party which raised the issue in UP Legislative Council alleging that he is being framed in “fake” cases.
The State BJP Government dismissed the SP’s allegations, asserting it is treating everyone the same and the action is not driven by any political vendetta.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath alleged that Rampur is an example of “land-grabbing” culture under the previous SP Government.
“The name of the Rampur MP has been put on the list of anti land mafia portal of the State Government on Thursday after FIRs were lodged against him on land-grabbing charges,” Additional District Magistrate (Administration) JP Gupta told reporters.
“The listing was done by SDM Sadar,” he said. (AGENCIES)
