Prayagraj: In a major jolt to Samajwadi Party MP Mohd Azam Khan, the Allahabad High Court has set aside the election of his son, Abdullah Azam, to the Uttar Pradesh assembly.

The court ruled on Monday that Abdullah Azam had produced fake documents about his age during the 2017 assembly elections and was underage at the time of elections.

The petition against Abdullah Azam had been filed by Nawab Kazim Ali who was with the BSP earlier but has joined the Congress now.

“Abdullah Azam was below the age of 25 when elections were held in 2017 but he forged documents to contest the election,” Ali had said in his petition.

While Abdullah Azam refused to comment on the court verdict, his aide said that they would appeal against the high court judgment in the Supreme Court.

Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar.
