Famous Urdu journalist and writer Aziz Berney has expressed his opinion on the release of Samajwadi Party veteran Azam Khan. He wrote in his social media post that Azam Khan’s release is a matter of happiness, but now he should retire from politics. Berni said, “Azam Khan should now stay away from the worry about who supported him and who should not. He should take care of his health.” Berni also told that Azam Khan has made friends less and enemies more in his long political journey. He knows Azam Khan very closely and is also aware of his mood.

The story of Mulayam Singh and Azam Khan’s friendship

Aziz Burney said that Azam Khan is one of the founding members of the Samajwadi Party and has been the old partner of Mulayam Singh Yadav. Berni, referring to his and Mulayam Singh’s friendship, said that his friendship was even before the formation of the Samajwadi Party. Mulayam Singh used to appreciate Azam Khan a lot. Burney shared an old anecdote when there was an estrangement between Amar Singh and Jaya Prada between Mulayam Singh and Azam Khan. Then Mulayam Singh told Berni, “You talk to Azam Khan, I can go to his house to convince him.” This was Azam Khan’s stature and Mulayam Singh’s respect for him.

Azam Khan’s Ana and Controversy

Burney also spoke openly about the nature of Azam Khan. He said that Azam Khan is a very unknown person. His Ana’s confrontation with Bernie has always been always there. Not only Burney, Amar Singh and Jaya Prada were also not made from him. Especially he did not want to see Jaya Prada even a look. Burney also revealed that Azam Khan did not have a close relationship with most Muslim leaders of the Samajwadi Party. The party’s Muslim leaders also kept distance from them. The statement of former Samajwadi Party MP ST Hasan from Moradabad is evidence of this, who said after Azam Khan’s release, “The heart does not want to meet him.”

Tales of Jaya Prada, Amar Singh and Congress

Berni also told that Azam Khan was upset with Jaya Prada and Amar Singh due to the closeness of Mulayam Singh. Due to this anger, he made up his mind to join the Congress party. However, Burney also said that when Kalyan Singh came with Mulayam Singh, Azam Khan did not show any special resentment on it. Berni questioned how Azam Khan could live with a person responsible for the martyrdom of Babri Masjid? This question still questions his political image.

Mohammad Ali Johar University and Babri Masjid

History will remember Azam Khan to create Mohammad Ali Johar University, but at the same time for his relationships with those responsible for the martyrdom of Babri Masjid. Burney emphasized that this double attitude of Azam Khan has always been in the discussion.

Conflict with Akhilesh Yadav

Many questions arose on Akhilesh Yadav’s attitude during Azam Khan’s visit and after his release. But Burney told that there was a conflict between Azam Khan and Akhilesh Yadav since Akhilesh became the Chief Minister. This thing must have always been knocking at Akhilesh. Berni said that it is difficult to cover Azam Khan’s story in a small post. They intend to write more on this in future.

The future of Azam Khan’s politics

This statement of Aziz Burney raises many questions on Azam Khan’s political life and his relationship. Should Azam Khan really retire from politics now? Or will they take their political innings further? This question is in everyone’s mind.
