Jaya Prada slams Azam Khan for shedding tears at poll rallies

New Delhi : Days after Azam Khan was seen going emotional and shedding tears while speaking about his ordeal at a poll rally, a BJP leader Jaya Prada slammed him asking who is a good actor now? She added, "He is now crying in every public meeting, he used to call me a good actress, but what is he doing now? This is a curse of the tears women have shed because of him."

A few days back, Azam Khan while campaigning for his wife and a Samajwadi Party candidate from Rampur Tazeen Fatima for the upcoming Assembly by-polls in Uttar Pradesh had cried while speaking about his sufferings due to UP government's actions against him in alleged land grabbing and other cases.

The actor-turned-politician is currently facing more than 84 cases against him, most of them include land grabbing, encroachment, theft of books, statues, buffaloes, and goats, and forgery.

Talking about the registered cases, he said, "I am being termed a criminal because I am your lawyer. I was framed because I fought for the general public and the general good. My crime is that I opened schools and colleges to ensure that your children get good education and I am being called a thief for this. If I lose these institutions, then I will be left with nothing."

"This BJP government believes that I am a thief and should be hanged. According to them, I have stolen books, statues, goats, buffaloes, land but they do not know that I have also stolen your hearts and I am proud of this", the SP leader had said.
