In a major political development in Uttar Pradesh, senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan has been released on bail after spending 23 months in Sitapur Jail.This morning, amid heavy security arrangements, Khan was escorted out of the jail premises. His sons, Abdullah Azam and Adeeb Azam, were present to receive him. He was immediately taken in an Innova car, accompanied by a convoy of police vehicles, and is now on his way to Rampur.The administration had imposed Section 144-like restrictions around the jail area to maintain law and order. Roads were barricaded, and police stopped crowds from gathering in large numbers. Several vehicles belonging to Khan’s supporters were also fined for violating traffic rules.Khan’s release has sparked excitement among Samajwadi Party workers, many of whom gathered outside to catch a glimpse of their leader. Police were seen dispersing crowds to ensure security and smooth movement of the convoy.The big question now is: What impact will Azam Khan’s return have on Uttar Pradesh politics? For the Samajwadi Party, this is a moment of relief and celebration, while the BJP camp is closely watching Khan’s next moves.
