In a relief for Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi ahead of next month’s Maharashtra assembly polls, the Sessions Court on Tuesday suspended his conviction and two-year sentence in an alleged hate speech case.
The MLA was awarded two-year rigorous imprisonment by a local court in 2012 for allegedly delivering provocative speech to incite communal violence.
‘The conviction of Abu Azmi has been suspended,’ his lawyer Sudeep Passbola said.
