New Delhi: Taking immediate action against his overtures with BJP, Mr Mujtaba Farooq, president, Welfare Party of India, has removed Mr. Ilyas Azmi from the vice- presidentship and membership of the Party.
“Mr. Azmi has been advocating hobnobbing with the BJP and showing leniency. It was cleared unambiguously to him that it is against the basic policy of the Party and the Party is committed to value based politics. Being totally against communalisation and criminalisation of politics, the Party cannot have any adjustment with communal fascist forces and he was asked to refrain from that,” said Dr. S.Q.R. Ilyas, general secretary, Welfare Party. He stated that in the light of credible reports that Mr.Azmi is spearheading launching of Rashtriya Inquilab Party, a new political outfit to go for alliance with the BJP, this action has been taken.
At a conference today in Lucknow, Mr Azmi launched his own outfit and offered to support BJP on some conditions.
