Speaking to the reporters after giving he joined the Police probe, SP MLA Abu Asim Azmi said, "There is no need to record a statement; there is no case. An FIR had been registered against me. I took anticipatory bail. I got the bail, and I need to come and put my signature for three days."

"If I'm being accused without doing anything wrong, then yes, I'm afraid of that. They suspended me from the entire session. People are calling me a terrorist, but which terror have I spread? This is meaningless. The government might do whatever it likes, but I will continue my work," Azmi said.

The Mumbai session court had ordered Abu Azmi to appear before the officer for investigation in the case of his controversial statement on Aurangzeb.

The court had ordered Abu Azmi to appear before the officer for investigation in the case of his controversial statement on Aurangzeb. The court has set the dates for him to appear on March 12, 13, and 15, between 11 am and 1 pm.

Earlier, on Tuesday, Mumbai's session court granted anticipatory bail to Abu Azmi on a solvent surety bond of Rs 20,000 in connection with his alleged controversial statement about Aurangzeb made in the Maharashtra legislative assembly.

Abu Azmi had filed anticipatory bail in the Mumbai Sessions Court to avoid arrest. Additionally, he has also been asked not to tamper with the evidence.

Notably, a few days ago, Abu Azmi made a controversial statement about Aurangzeb in the Legislative Assembly premises, which was opposed by leaders of all parties. After Azmi's statement, Mumbai Police registered a case under sections 299, 302, 356(1), and 356(2) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). (ANI)
