The battle for 2014 Lok Sabha polls continues to get more personal as Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan has now challenged BJP’s Uttar Pradesh in-charge Amit Shah saying he can’t take revenge on them for the Muzaffarnagar riots. Khan said, “Amit Shah said he wants to take revenge on us. A man who couldn’t save the hair on his own head, how can he protect us?”
The SP leader even attacked the national media by saying that it is sold out to Narendra Modi.
Khan had recently courted controversy when he said that the Kargil war was won by the Muslims.
The Kargil conflict of 1999 was dragged into campaign for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls when Azam Khan tried to polarise the voters by saying, “Soldier who conquered the mountains of Kargil was not a Hindu but a Muslim”.
Reacting to the statement of Khan, former Army chief and BJP candidate for the Ghaziabad seat VK Singh said that the Kargil battle for India was won by Indians.
