PM Modi met Dawood Ibrahim in Pakistan, says Azam

Ghazipur: Uttar Pradesh’s Minority Welfare Minister Mohammad Azam Khan on Saturday stoked another controversy by saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi met most wanted mafia don Dawood Ibrahim during his Pakistan visit along with the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

• His reaction was to a query what NCP leader Sharad Pawar alleged on Friday that the history books contents were being changed at the behest of the Central government

Azam on hate speeches by BJP leaders in Muzaffarnagar:

• It was Muzaffarnagar riot which brought Bharatiya Janata Party in the power at the Centre.
• BJP will continue to do so.
• BJP will not succeed on communal plank any more.

What is Triple Talaq controversy:

• Male has the right to give divorce to his wife by reciting Talaq thrice, according to Shariyat.
