Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has demanded the expulsion of Samajwadi Party (SP) MLA Abu Azmi for his controversial remarks lauding Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Azmi, who faced backlash and was suspended from the Maharashtra Assembly, issued an apology but maintained the historical accuracy of his statements. Adityanath’s call for Azmi’s removal comes amidst escalating tensions over the glorification of historical figures with contentious legacies. The incident has sparked debates over political affiliations and historical interpretations in India.
