Azam said the ring is of ‘utmost historic value’.
The Samajwadi Party leader also asked the Prime Minister, who is on a three-day tour to Britain, to bring home the Kohinoor diamond. “PM is going to dine with Queen (Elizabeth II), who wears Kohinoor fitted crown. Will Modiji ask her to return the precious diamond to India?” he asked.

Supporting the retired army personnel who are returning their medals, the UP minister said, “Modi celebrated Diwali with army men on duty, but he would have done justice had he observed the festival with the retired army personnel by conceding to their OROP demand.”
