AIMIM Bihar president and MLA Akhtarul Iman reacted to the suspension of Maharashtra SP MLA Abu Azmi over his statement on Aurangzeb. Iman criticized the BJP, saying they use politics of hatred for political gain. He called Aurangzeb a noble emperor who lived simply, earning his livelihood by stitching caps, and didn`t misuse taxpayers` money. He said Aurangzeb served the country, unifying India from Afghanistan to Burma (Myanmar), and treated both temples and mosques equally. Iman questioned why a controversy was being created over this. He urged the Supreme Court to take suo-motu action against such governments, calling the suspension of Abu Azmi unconstitutional.

AIMIM Chief Owaisi spoke about the recent violence in Sambhal, stating that the mosque there is not just 50-100 years old, but more than 250-300 years old. He criticized the court’s ex parte order, claiming it was wrong because the people from the mosque were not heard. He also said that during the second survey, no information was shared, and a video that surfaced later showed people raising provocative slogans during the survey. He condemned the violence that followed, where three Muslims were shot dead, calling it murder, not just firing. He demanded the suspension of the officers involved and called for a sitting High Court judge to investigate, describing the situation as an injustice and ongoing atrocities.
