The organiser called it a “confusion” and said the person compering the show did not know Bibi was absent and thus announced her name. (File Photo)Param Vir Chakra awardee Abdul Hamid’s grandson has alleged former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav felicitated another woman in name of the 1965 war hero’s widow Rasoolan Bibi in Azamgarh on August 30. Jameel Alam said the organiser, Pramod Yadav, did not invite Bibi but her name was announced from the stage. Alam said he learnt from someone that another war widow had been felicitated in Bibi’s name. Pramod said Bibi’s name was put on the list of nearly 40 kin of soldiers who were honoured on August 30.
