Azam Khan

In it rather appalling that Dimple Yadav, though being a woman herself, did not hesitate to defend Azam Khan's sexist remark against a lady

Samajwadi leader Azam Khan had recently made objectionable remarks against his opponent Jaya Prada in an election rally.

Launching personal attacks on media persons who tried to question him when he came to attend the funeral of former MP Munawwar Salim , Azam Khan replied "apke vaalid ki maut mein aya tha".

Jaya Prada has been on the receiving end of sexist and misogynist remarks since she joined the BJP

As per latest reports, UP Police have registered an FIR against Khan for his sexist and misogynist statements against Jaya Prada.

In a hurry to contain the damage that was inflicted on 'Mahagathbandhan' after Azam Khan's sexist anti-women comment, Arfa Khanum Sherwani jumped into the rescue of Samajwadi Party leader claiming that his statements were not targetted at Jaya Pradha but against former SP leader Amar Singh.

Jaya Prada had earlier claimed that Azam Khan had attempted an acid attack on her

Jayaprada had earlier stated that the character of Khilji in the movie Padmavat reminded her of Azam Khan because of the way Khan has tried to take revenge on her.

Last year a criminal complaint was filed against Azam Khan after he made certain remarks against the Army that suggested that the Indian soldiers indulged in rapes.

Azam Khan will be contesting from Rampur against Jaya Prada who had accused him of attempting an acid attack on her.
