Abu Farhan Azmi Calls Goa Altercation a Misunderstanding
Abu Farhan Azmi, son of Maharashtra SP MLA Abu Azmi, addressed the recent altercation in Goa, calling it a minor issue that escalated unexpectedly. He dismissed allegations of wrongdoing and reaffirmed his strong connection with the state.
Incident at Calangute
The Goa police registered a case against Azmi and others for a public altercation that disturbed peace. The incident reportedly began with a dispute involving a biker on Monday night. Azmi, a well-known restaurateur and entrepreneur, was in Goa with his son when the confrontation occurred.
How It Escalated
Azmi explained that he had signaled while taking a turn, but the other group reacted aggressively. He claimed they pushed him and used abusive language. The situation quickly got out of control, leading him to call the police for assistance.
Denies Allegations
Rejecting accusations of brandishing a weapon, Azmi stated he has been visiting Goa for 20 years and has never engaged in such behavior. He emphasized his love for the state and its people, calling Goa his “home away from home.”
Supports Goa’s Growth
Azmi expressed his admiration for Goa and its tourism industry, saying he wants to see it flourish. While he felt saddened by the incident, he also appreciated the overwhelming support he received from his Goan friends.
Praise for Goa Police
He commended the Goa police for their professionalism and cooperation, assuring that he is fully cooperating with the authorities. He urged people not to misinterpret the incident as him being against Goans.
Calls for Closure
Seeking to move on from the controversy, Azmi suggested ending the matter amicably. He said he had no issue apologizing but maintained he was not at fault. He reiterated his love for Goa and expressed satisfaction with how the police handled the situation.
Political Context
The controversy comes amid political turbulence for his father, Abu Azmi. The Samajwadi Party legislator was recently suspended from the Maharashtra legislative assembly until March 26 over remarks related to Mughal ruler Aurangzeb.
