Azam says Muslims contributed to Modi's victory, proved they are secular

“The hardship being faced by the country today emerged during UPA's “sinful governance” in past ten years,” he said.  He also said that “persons raising such demands were not maintaining sound mental health.”

Defending SP's support to Congress rule, Khan said, “We had extended our support so as to check communal forces from holding the reins of the government.”

On being asked about SP losing deposit in UP as compared to other regional parties which had registered victory in their respective states, Khan said, “Ayodhya, Kashi, Mathura, and Muzaffarnagar happen to remain in UP and electorate here were promised of ‘sunahare sapne' (golden future). They were misguided to the maximum extent”.

Azam challenged the new elected representatives of Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh to fulfil their promises and end the problems of corruption and unemployment in the state.
