Rahul Gandhi is an innocent child: Azam

‘Rahul is an innocent child... though Ramdev too calls him so, but I will call him innocent as he reads whatever is given to him in writing,’ the UP cabinet minister told reporters here on Friday night. He claimed that Rahul had called saw mills as plywood factories while addressing a rally in the state. On Rahul’s allegation that the SP government is triggering riots, Khan hit back saying ‘it was Congress which laid the foundation of communal clashes.’ Congress ruled the country for more than 50 years after Independence and it triggered numerous riots,’ Khan alleged.

Azam, who was here to meet the family of five persons of minority community who were murdered, said that he is satisfied with the working of CM Akhilesh Yadav. Azam said the day he would feel that Akhilesh was not living up to the expectations, he would be the first person to withdraw from the government.
