people involved in dishonest business accuse me - Abu Azmi
Attacking nawab malik, Abu Azmi said, "Nawab Malik said that I have been called. I have not come on my own. He said that there is a lot of crime here. nawab malik was chased away by the public. Those who themselves do the drug business, have been caught in corruption and who have a dishonest business. What do they accuse me of? The public has taught them a lesson. I used to work here earlier and will continue to do so. I will do as much good as I can. I am grateful to the people. I will not let their trust be broken.
