Samajwadi Party leader Abbu Azmi, recently stirred a wave of controversy after a video of him delivering a fiery and provocative speech surfaced on social media. Azmi, an MLA from Mankhurd, Mumbai, was addressing a rally in the presence of Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav when he seemed to issue a veiled threat to the Hindu community while emphasizing the growing political power of Muslims.

In the viral clip, Azmi pointed towards Akhilesh Yadav and confidently declared, "We are two MLAs, but we need six to eight more. The day we have that, nobody's mother has nurtured a person capable of oppressing Muslims." The statement, laced with aggression, insinuated that once the Muslim community achieved more political representation, any injustice or oppression against them would be met with strong resistance.

Azmi’s rhetoric did not stop there. He vowed to lay down his life for the nation, asserting his unwavering commitment to fight for his people, yet also stating that he would never bow down to anyone. “This is my promise,” he declared passionately, “I can lay my life for this nation, but I can never bow down in front of anyone.”

दुख इसका नहीं है , दुख तो इसके साथ खड़े उन लोगों का है जो खुद को हिंदू बता कर हिंदुओं से वोट लेते हैं ।
