Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Azam Khan was on October 27 convicted by a court in Uttar Pradesh in a hate speech case filed against him over his comments against State Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
The Rampur court convicted SP’s senior leader Azam Khan of hate speech and sentenced him to three years in prison and imposed a fine of ₹25,000.

Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
