Reacting to the controversy over his remarks against Army men, including filing of a sedition case against him, Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan opted to blame the media instead, saying if they wished, they could have chosen to censor his remarks.

Addressing a press conference in his party's office here on Saturday, Khan said, "Newspapers and channels are responsible for airing the news. If they had a problem with the remarks, they should have censored what I said."
