New Delhi: BJP leader from Haryana Suraj Pal Amu who had threatened Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Leela Bhansali over Padmavati has resigned as Haryana Chief Media Coordinator of the party.

Suraj Pal Amu had very recently targeted Samajwadi Party's veteran leader Azam Khan and called him "impotent".

"Azam Khan, that impotent?...Azam Khan, come talk face to face. We will answer. If we know to hold sword in hand, then we also know how to use it," Amu had said.

Since Padmavati controversy has gained momentum, Suraj Pal Amu has been continuously giving provoking statements. First, he targeted Bollywood director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Deepika Padukone and then he targeted West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Interestingly, BJP had issued show cause notice to Suraj Pal Amu.
