Lucknow: A sedition case has been filed against Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan on Saturday following his controversial remarks against Indian Army.

Separate complaints were filed at Hazratganj and Gautampalli police stations. The complaint at Hazratganj was lodged by Janki Sharan Pandey, added the report.
Earlier, in a shocking remark, Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan had said that the excesses of the Army in Jammu and Kashmir and other sensitive areas forced women to chop off the private parts of soldiers in revenge.
“Soldiers have been beaten by women in Kashmir, Jharkhand and Assam and their private parts were also chopped off… India’s truth is that women are forced to act against Army rapists. It is a message that Hindustan should be ashamed of,” Khan said at an event in his bastion Rampur in western Uttar Pradesh. Khan’s remarks triggered protests across Uttar Pradesh.
