Abu Azmi Calls for Strict Punishment in Mira Road Stabbing Incident

Mumbai, April 28: Abu Azmi, the state president of the Samajwadi Party (SP) and a legislator, actively participated in an anti-drug campaign. During this event, he addressed the recent stabbing incident in Mira Road and expressed concerns about the rising threat of narcotics in Maharashtra.

Speaking to reporters about the stabbing, Azmi stated, “I cannot accept this. I do not believe it. If it is true, the punishment should be very strict. If a Muslim attacks a Hindu and tries to show that what happened in Kashmir should happen here too, I believe that is absolutely wrong.”

He further added, “If an investigation is conducted, just like what is happening with Nida Khan in the TCS case, it should be thorough. Every religion has good and bad people. If a Muslim is doing this, then I believe he is not a true Muslim.”

On the issue of drug abuse, Azmi remarked, “In every session of the assembly, I talk about narcotics. I am not alone; most legislators are raising concerns about this issue. The prevalence of drugs is rapidly increasing, especially in slum areas. Just four days ago, a 35-year-old man was murdered by six people with swords; they were under the influence of drugs. This is all happening in Maharashtra.”

Azmi also mentioned his plans to run an anti-drug awareness campaign in his constituency. He said, “At least in my area, there is a need to raise awareness about narcotics. Strict action should be initiated against this.”

He condemned the trend of influential individuals making drug use fashionable at parties and the consumption of drugs by unemployed youth. Azmi stated, “Some people consume drugs at parties, while others just hang around aimlessly. Parents are worried. Drugs must be eradicated in every possible way.”

Regarding the issue of the Marathi language, Azmi questioned, “When a person from Maharashtra goes to the High Court and submits an application in Marathi, they are told to do it in English. Judges and lawyers debate in English, and no one understands anything. Why not completely eliminate this?”
