‘Azam Khan ‘filth and muck’ of Indian politics’

For making the snide "underwear jibe" allegedly against film actor Jaya Prada, former SP leader Amar Singh Monday described his erstwhile party colleague Azam Khan as "filth and muck" of Indian politics. "Azam Khan is the filth and muck (gandgi) of Indian politics. He symbolises all the evils of the society," said former Rajya Sabha member Singh, who is considered as Jaya Prada's mentor in the north Indian politics. Maintaining that it was "below dignity" for him to react to what Khan says, Singh, however, added, "Even in the last election he had distributed Jaya Prada's morphed pictures, besides launching a vicious propaganda against me and her." "He had also once said that the fund for celebrating SP patron Mulayam Singh Yadav's birthday came from Dawood Ibrahim and Abu Salem," alleged Singh. Singh, who had met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was reacting to Khan's remark in a poll campaign rally against his BJP contender Jaya Prada for the Rampur Lok Lok Sabha seat. Rampur goes to poll on April 23 in the third phase of elections. Singh also targeted his former friend and millennium star Amitabh Bachchan's wife and SP's Rajya Sabha member Jaya Bachchan and party's chief Akhilesh Yadav's MP-wife Dimple Yadav over their silence on Khan's alleged remarks against Jaya Prada, his contender for the Rampur Lok Sabha seat. Is Dimple Yadav not feeling ashamed?" asked Singh.
