Azam Khan’s significant statement while in ED custody: “I committed the ‘crime’ of educating children—that was my mistake.”

Senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan is back in the headlines—this time due to a statement in which he remarked that by establishing a ‘temple of education’ (an educational institution), he had committed a ‘mistake.’ Azam Khan, currently in the custody of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with an alleged money laundering case involving Jauhar University, appears to be facing mounting troubles. A special court in Ghaziabad has granted the ED a four-day custodial remand. A statement he made while in ED custody has now become a major topic of discussion within political circles.
