On Tuesday, both Houses of the state legislature were adjourned for the day due to the uproar.
Mahayuti members raised slogans demanding action against Azmi, claiming that he was a descendent of Aurangzeb.
Asim had called Aurangzeb an able administrator, although he apologized and said he had taken his words back.
Abu Azmi also said that if anything happens to him or his family, the Maharashtra government will be responsible for it.
