<h1>Party expulsion demanded for a leader over praise of a contentious historical figure, with call for formal repudiation.</h1> The chief minister demanded the expulsion of a Samajwadi Party leader for eulogising a historical ruler, urging the party to publicly denounce the remarks and remove the individual from membership; he also noted the leader's suspension from a state legislative assembly session and pressed for either a party hearing or transfer to local jurisdiction for further action to uphold disciplinary accountability.
