New Delhi: Senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan skipped Uttar Pradesh assembly proceedings for a second day in a row on Tuesday amid speculation of a rift between him and party president Akhilesh Yadav. Khan, who had taken oath at Speaker Satish Mahan's chamber on Monday, had not attended the proceedings of the house and had left after being sworn in as member of the house even then.
Khan was recently released on bail from Sitapur Jail where he was lodged on various charges, including that of land grabbing.
When asked whether Khan will be attending the house, his MLA son Abdullah Azam avoided giving a categorical reply to the media in the morning.
"I am getting delayed for the assembly. You can ask him (Azam) when he comes out," Abdullah Azam, who had taken oath with his father on Monday, said.
Khan had on Monday evening met Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party Lohia (PSPL) founder Shivpal Yadav at his residence and discussed various issues.
