MUMBAI: After cops produced a blank CD and a cassette that could not be played for lack of a player, a magistrate court recently acquitted Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Asim Azmi almost 13 years after he was accused of giving a provocative speech at Shivaji Park which allegedly “promoted feelings of enmity between Maharashtrian and Uttar Bhartiya people”.
The court refuted the contention that he made “assertions prejudicial to national integration”.
The court said it was proved the speech was a political one against Raj Thackeray and it was not against people of Maharashtra.
