‘You are not worthy to sit on chair’: Gujarat Congress leader mocks Dalit female IB officer as she fell & got injured after he pulled her chair, earlier made vulgar remarks on Kangana Ranaut

A video is doing rounds on social media in which Congress leader H.S. Ahir can be seen pulling the chair of a lady IB officer who was on duty for Congress MLA Jignesh Mevani’s press conference. As he pulled the chair, the Dalit female officer fell on the ground and was injured in the incident. It is alleged that the Congress leader also mocked and insulted the female officer stating that she was not worthy to sit on the chair. 

The incident took place on Saturday (3rd August) during a press conference that was organized for Congress MLA Jignesh Mevani at Circuit House in Bhuj, Gujarat. After the incident, the Dalit lady officer filed a complaint at the Division police station in Bhuj city. Based on her complaint, the police registered a case against Congress leader HS Ahir (Haresh Shivjibhai Ahir). A copy of the FIR is available with OpIndia.

According to the complaint, the lady officer fell down and suffered injuries as the Congress leader pulled her chair. It is also alleged that as she fell down, the Congress leader started laughing and said, “You don’t deserve a chair.”

Addressing a Press conference on this issue, a senior police official stated that an Intelligence Bureau (IB) police woman was on duty at MLA Jignesh Mevani’s press conference in Bhuj. While she was on government duty, Haresh Ahir was standing behind her. As he pulled her chair, the female officer fell down badly and got injured. At that time, Haresh Ahir sarcastically said, ‘You are not worthy to sit in this chair.’

The officer added that the Congress leader knew the lady officer well, he knew that she was on duty. He also knew that she came from a Scheduled Caste. Yet he did so with the intention of insulting. The lady officer is currently suffering from mental trauma, shock, and depression. A case has been registered against the Congress leader. This matter has been taken seriously at the highest level. Further action is underway. 

A case has been filed under sections 121(1), 221 and 133 of the Bharatiya Nyay Samhita and relevant sections of the SC/ST Act.

The senior Police official told the media that the incident occurred when the lady officer was on duty. She has suffered a spinal injury, making the offense of obstruction in duty applicable as well. This is an insult to a woman and her community. The accused is an advocate and the Convener of the Gujarat Congress Kisan Morcha. 

Sharing the CCTV footage of the incident, Minister of State of Home Affairs in Gujarat government and senior BJP leader, Harsh Sanghavi launched a scathing attack on the Congress party. He described Congress party’s mentality as ‘anti-Dalit’ and ‘anti-women’. 

Taking to X, he wrote, ‘The mentality of Congress has always been anti-women and anti-Dalit. See how, today during the press conference of Gujarat Congress MLA Jignesh Mevani, his close friend Kutch Congress leader H.S. Ahir deliberately injured a Dalit woman officer by pulling the chair. This is a very condemnable matter.’

It is to be pertinent to note that earlier HS Ahir made headlines after he made vulgar remarks against BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut during the Lok Sabha elections. Later, the National Commission for Women (NCW) pulled the Congress leader for his vulgar remarks directed against the Bollywood actor, Kangana Ranaut who was BJP’s Lok Sabha candidate from Mandi constituency at that time. 

Following NCW’s complaint, the Election Commission also issued notices to Congress leaders Supriya Srinet and HS Ahir for their remarks against Kangana Ranaut.

US, UK advise citizens to exit Lebanon using ‘any ticket available’ over a potential all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah

The United States and United Kingdom governments have urged their citizens to exit Lebanon using “any ticket available,” due to concerns over a potential all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah and a wider regional conflict.

According to news agency AFP, the US Embassy in Lebanon stated that despite some airlines halting operations in the country, flights are still available, and citizens should book any available flight to leave the nation.

“US Embassy Beirut notes several airlines have suspended or cancelled flights, and many flights have sold out; however, commercial transportation options to leave Lebanon remain available. We encourage those who wish to depart Lebanon to book any ticket available to them, even if that flight does not depart immediately or does not follow their first-choice route,” the US Embassy in Beirut said.

Simultaneously, the UK government has advised all British nationals in Lebanon to leave immediately.

“Tensions are high, and the situation could deteriorate rapidly,” stated British Foreign Minister David Lammy.

“While we are working tirelessly to enhance our consular presence in Lebanon, my message to British nationals there is clear—leave now,” he added, according to news agency AFP.

Besides the US and UK, several other countries have also issued advisories, urging their citizens to leave Lebanon as soon as possible.

The Middle East tensions, already strained due to the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza since October 7 last year, escalated further after the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and a senior Hezbollah leader based in Lebanon.

These killings have heightened concerns that the 10-month-old war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas could expand into a broader Middle East conflict.

Tata’s semiconductor plant in Assam will be operational by 2025, will bring entire semiconductor ecosystem companies to the state: N Chandrasekaran after Bhumi Pujan of the plant

The semiconductor industry is a foundation industry for the future and chips are going to be part of almost everything people do in their daily lives, Chairman of Tata Group N Chandrasekaran said on Saturday after the ‘bhoomi pujan’ of the Tata’s semiconductor unit in Morigaon in Assam, which will be set up with an investment of Rs 27,000 crore.

He expressed confidence that part of the facilities will be completed sometime in 2025 and operations will start quickly.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma performed ‘bhoomi pujan’ of the facility in Jagiroad with Chandrasekaran and the unit is expected to generate 15,000 direct and 11,000 to 13,000 indirect jobs.

“The semiconductor industry is a foundation industry for the future. Chips are going to be part of everything we do in our daily lives, industrial life and consumer lives. Be it the electronics industry, automobiles, mobile technology, defence, healthcare, or other consumer products, everything will have a chip going forward, multiple chips, and this technology is fast progressing. With the adoption of artificial intelligence, all this will accelerate,” Chandrasekaran told mediapersons.

He said every country is trying to get into this space.

“Globally, there are very few nations which have the capability. So India, under the visionary leadership of Narendra Modiji, took a very bold step and the Tata Group is extremely thankful and proud to be part of this initiative. We are building the entire electronics value chain. We have a big manufacturing facility as we call it EMS in South India, in Tamil Nadu near Bengaluru. Then we have the electronics assembly unit and packaging unit in Karnataka. Now we are creating this very advanced semiconductor assembly and test facility here in Assam. We are also putting a fab in Valera, Gujarat. Then we are also setting up a design house. With this, we will play in the entire value chain,” he said.

In his speech, Chandrasekaran said the facility in Assam will create a semiconductor ecosystem.

“We already said that at its capacity it will produce or employ 27,000 people, 15,000 direct jobs and an additional 12,000 indirect jobs. But what it will additionally do is to bring the entire semiconductor ecosystem companies. We will need several people who will produce different components. And as we grow, while those people will initially start to supply, they will set up their units here,” he said.

“And I see a big corridor and ecosystem of many, many companies developing here, which we will get to see in the coming years, and it will become a thriving electronics hub. The other thing is this industry is very innovation-driven. So it is an industry which is on the move. So you will see us investing. We hope sometime in 2025 we will be able to complete part of the facilities and quickly start our operations,” he added.

The Assam Chief Minister said that as per the group’s assessment, the unit will be completed within 18 months.

“Today bhoomi pujan was performed and at least within 18 months from today, this production unit will become effective, and it will come into operation. On behalf of the people of Assam, I would like to thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi and others for this great initiative. They could have done this in any part of India, but they have chosen Assam. It is a huge landmark for the state of Assam,” he said.

Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said the plant will be very big and manufacture about 4.83 crore chips per day.

“The unique thing about this plant is that all the three major technologies which will be deployed in this plant are developed in India. The chips manufactured in this plant will be used in electric vehicles and practically every large company will be using these chips in the communication and network infrastructure,” he said.

Officials said that the Programme for Development of Semiconductors and Display Manufacturing Ecosystem in India was notified in December 2021 with a total outlay of Rs 76,000 crore

In June 2023, the Union Cabinet approved the proposal of Micron for setting up a semiconductor unit in Sanand, Gujarat. Construction of this unit is progressing at a rapid pace.

The Union Cabinet approved the proposal for Tata’s semiconductor unit in Morigaon, Assam, and two other units on February 29 this year.

The unit in Assam will be the site for the development of indigenous advanced semiconductor packaging technologies including flip chip and I-SIP (integrated system in package) technologies.

These technologies are extremely critical for key applications such as automotive (especially electric vehicles), communications, network infrastructure and others, officials said.

Nearly 85,000 industry-ready manpower at BTech, MTech and PhD level in semiconductor chip design area are being trained at 113 academic institutions across the country and nine of these are in the northeast region.

Tata Electronics Pvt Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Sons will build the facility in Assam.

Operation Maznoo: Man arrested in Odisha for duping multiple women in the name of marriage, victims took loans to give him money, cars, motorcycles; trapped by a lady cop

On Saturday (3rd August), Odisha’s Commissionerate Police arrested a 36-year-old man on the charges of duping multiple women on the pretext of marriage. According to police, the accused has been identified as Satyajit Managovind Samal. He married 5 women and was in touch with another 49 women through matrimonial sites.

As per reports, he used to trap his victims including divorced women and widows through matrimonial sites by introducing himself as an Inspector of Odisha Police or Intelligence Bureau Inspector. After traping his targets, he used to take their money, gold and other valuables. And after duping his victims, he used to flee to Dubai. When he ran out of money after spending a luxurious time in Dubai, he used to come back to loot his next victim.

After receiving complaints against him, the Police initiated Operation Maznoo and a lady police officer started interacting with him pretending to be a rich woman. She then lured him to visit Odisha to meet her and when he arrived in Bhubaneshwar, the police took him into custody. 

Apart from arresting him, the Police also seized Rs 2.10 lakh cash, a car, a motorcycle, one small arm and ammunition from the possession of the accused. Additionally, they have frozen his bank accounts with balances totaling Rs 1.75 lakh. They have also seized two marriage agreement documents.

The Police Commissioner Sanjeeb Panda explained the Modus operandi of the arrested accused. According to the senior Police officer, the accused used to introduce himself as an Inspector of Odisha Police or Intelligence Bureau Inspector to widows and divorced women and lured them to marry him.

Panda said, “The accused is a native of Jajpur district and staying in the Chandrasekharpur area of Bhubaneswar.” He added, “The accused used to target divorcees and used to chat with them on matrimonial website. After entering into a marriage agreement, he used to take cash and vehicles from the victims.” 

Panda said, “After chatting with victims on matrimonial websites, the accused took cash and vehicles. After committing the crime, Satyajit used to move to Dubai and spend time there.” 

Police said that the accused also used to take loans in the name of his wives and buy cars with the loan money. He was minting money by giving these cars on rent. He married five women and from them, he looted their gold ornaments, deposits, and other valuables worth lakhs of rupees. During verification, his phone records revealed that he was in contact with 49 more girls on the matrimonial websites.

Notably, the Capital Police Station received a complaint in this matter on 26th February. He has been arrested based on the complaint filed by two victims. According to the complainants, he looted more than Rs 36 lakh from the first victim, and Rs 8 lakh along with an Enfield Motorcycle from the second victim.

As per the complaint of the first woman, she came in contact with the accused Satyajit through a matrimonial site and soon they started chatting. They also met regularly, which led to a love relationship. Later, the accused forced her into a physical relationship on the pretext of marriage and demanded money to purchase a car. 

According to the complaint, she then took a personal loan from the State Bank of India and purchased a Baleno car for the accused. It is also alleged that she gave Rs 36 lakh cash to the accused Satyajit by taking multiple personal loans. She alleged that the accused threatened to kill her at gunpoint when she asked him to return her money and car. 

During the investigation, police found that Satyajit took Rs 27 lakh cash in different ways, including a Baleno car that cost Rs 8.15 lakh. She took personal loans from HDFC Bank, Bandhan Bank, ICICI, and SBI to fulfil the demands of the accused. 

Furthermore, the police found that the accused had trapped another working woman in Bhubaneswar. He took Rs 8.60 lakh and a Royal Enfield Interceptor worth about Rs. 3,50,000 from her. 

Based on criminal intelligence and technical support, the Capital Police arrested the accused. He has been charged under sections 417, 419, 420, 506 of the IPC and Sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act.

According to sources, a lady officer interacted with the accused Satyajit, who used to flee to Dubai after duping women. During ‘Operation Maznoo’, the police traced him in Dubai where he worked with a company. A policewoman who projected herself as a rich woman started chatting with him for several days and was finally able to trap him. The accused was arrested as he arrived in Bhubaneswar to meet the policewoman.

‘Show some humanity towards victim girl’: NCPCR chief slams Akhilesh Yadav for demanding DNA test of accused SP leader in Ayodhya gang rape case

National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) chairperson Priyank Kanoongo on Saturday targeted Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav over his demand for DNA test of accused in Ayodhya gang-rape case.

In a post on X, Kanoongo said, “A minor girl has been raped, the allegations are against your party leader and you are doggedly defending him. This is the same DNA that defends rapists of girls by saying, ‘Boys make mistakes'”.

He further urged the Samajwadi Party MP to show some humanity towards the victim.

“You are a member of the Parliament that makes laws for children, please show some humanity towards the victimised girl. Honourable MP, think beyond caste, religion and DNA. You MPs are the protectors of the children of the country, the children are your responsibility,” he added.

Echoing the demand of Faizabad MP Awadhesh Prasad to conduct a DNA test in the case of the gang rape of a minor girl, Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav said on Saturday that DNA tests should be done on the rape accused to deliver justice to the victim.

In a post on X, Akhilesh said, “In the case of misdeeds, the way for justice should be found by getting DNA tests done on those who are accused, and not by merely making allegations and doing politics. Whoever is guilty should be given full punishment according to the law, but if the allegations are proven false after the DNA test, then the government officials involved should also not be spared. This is the demand for justice.”

The Ayodhya administration demolished the bakery of SP leader Moeed Khan, the main accused in the gang rape of a minor girl today.

Bahujan Samaj Party Chief Mayawati slammed the Samajwadi Party over the DNA test demand and asked how many DNA tests were done during their tenure.

“The strict action being taken by the UP government against the accused in the Ayodhya gangrape case is justified, but what should be understood by SP saying that the DNA test of the accused should be done. Whereas SP should also tell how many DNA tests have been done against such accused in their government,” she said on X.

Uttar Pradesh: Dilshad and Azeem record obscene videos in an ancient Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Krishna in Amroha, booked

A case of recording obscene videos and reels inside an ancient Hindu temple has come to light in Amroha district of Uttar Pradesh. The accused have been identified as two Amroha-based YouTubers namely Dilshad and Azeem. The accused recorded obscene videos in the ancient Hindu temple, sparking outrage among the Hindu society. Subsequently, the Police took suo motu cognizance of the incident. They registered an FIR on Friday (2nd August 2024) and initiated an investigation into the matter. OpIndia has accessed the FIR copy. 

The matter pertains to the Kotwali Nagar police station area of Amroha. On Friday, Police Sub Inspector Parshuram submitted a complaint in his own police station. In the complaint, he said that a video has been going viral on the public platform since Thursday (1 August). In the video, two youths are seen recording reels in a building that looks like a temple and one of them is seen wearing women’s clothing.

On investigation, the complainant found that the place where the videos were recorded is an ancient Vasudev temple in Amroha city. Police believe that both the accused made obscene videos at the religious place and it was made viral on the internet. Upon further investigation, the police found out that the name of one of the men seen in the video was Dilshad. His father’s name is Kamaruddin.

The name of the second accused is Azeem. Both Azeem and Dilshad are residents of different police station areas of Amroha district. The police have considered the obscenity performed in the Hindu religious place as a crime. 

Subsequently, based on Police Sub Inspector Parashuram’s complaint, the police booked Dilshad and Azeem on Friday (2nd August). They have been booked under section 296 of Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) as well as Section 67 of the IT Act. 

Police said that investigation and other necessary action is being taken against both the accused. The accused recorded the obscene video in the temple premises. In the video, Dilshad can also be heard talking to Azeem who is seen disguised as a girl, about taking him to the temple.

Dilshad, the main accused of recording and spreading obscenity inside a Hindu temple, is active on social media under the handle name, Jordan DS. He is active on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. Dilshad has also recorded reels with many Hindu girls. He share reels of himself roaming around the city on a sports bike and driving fast. However, the bikes used in the reels don’t bear registration numbers on them.  

In his reels, Dilshad is often seen on a red colour and another white colour bikes. He has built his own studio in Amroha from where he edits these reels. After the case of recording obscene videos inside Hindu temple premises surfaced, netizens started raising demands that strict action should be taken against the accused.

Vasudev Temple is the most sacred place of worship for Hindus in Amroha

The temple where Dilshad and Azeem recorded the lewd acts for a reel is considered one of the most sacred temples in Amroha. It is believed that the temple dates back to Krishna’s time and that Lord Krishna himself inhabits the Vasudev temple. Because of this belief, this temple is the main center of faith for the Hindus of the city and surrounding areas.

Ayodhya gangrape case: Mayawati justifies UP government’s bulldozer action on accused SP leader Moeed Khan’s illegal bakery, lambasts Akhilesh Yadav for demanding DNA test

On Saturday (3rd August), Former UP CM and BSP Supremo Mayawati backed Yogi Adityanath government’s crackdown and bulldozer action against the Ayodhya gangrape accused Moeed Khan. Taking to X, she said that the strict action against the accused in the Ayodhya gangrape case is justified. However, the BSP Supremo came down heavily on Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav. She asked what should be understood from the fact that SP is demanding a DNA test in this incident. She also asked Akhilesh Yadav how many such tests were conducted when the SP government was in power.

Slamming Akhilesh Yadav and Samajwadi Party for their stance in the Ayodhya gangrape case, Mayawati wrote, “The strict action being taken by the UP government against the accused in the Ayodhya gangrape case is justified, but what should be understood by SP saying that the DNA test of the accused should be done. Whereas SP should also tell how many DNA tests have been done against such accused in their government.”

She added that strict action should be taken on matters of law and order, especially those related to women’s safety by rising above caste, community and party politics. 

It is pertinent to note that earlier in the day, SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav broke his silence on the heinous Ayodhya gangrape case as he demanded that in heinous cases, DNA tests should be done on the accused rather than doing politics over it or making allegations. He argued that the test must be conducted so that no innocent is framed in such cases.

Yadav added that if the allegations are found to be true then full punishment as per law should be given to the guilty person but if the DNA test proves that the allegations are false, then the government officials involved should not be spared. He added that this is the demand for Justice.

After receiving backlash for his tweet, he edited his post and included a screenshot of media reports about a heinous crime that took place in Jaunpur. However, Akhilesh Yadav has now deleted his tweet. In the only post on his X timeline on these heinous cases, SP Chief has made the DNA test demand without referring to any specific incident.

Meanwhile, earlier in the day, SP’s Ayodhya MP Awadhesh Prasad also demanded a DNA test in the Ayodhya gangrape case as he also gave it a communal angle. 


However, the SP Chief is receiving backlash for the party’s stance in the Ayodhya gangrape case and several X users and BJP leaders have also linked its stance with the infamous remark of SP patriarch and Akhilesh’s father Mulayam Singh Yadav who had once said, ‘They are boys, mistakes are made’ while speaking over crimes against women.

Ayodhya Gangrape case

It is alleged that Samajwadi Party leader Moeed Khan and his servant Raju Khan gang-raped the minor girl who hails from OBC community a few months ago. They also recorded the video while committing the heinous crime, to blackmail the minor victim. By threatening to leak the obscene video, they continued sexually exploiting her for over 2 months. However, the family came to know about the crime when her health deteriorated and she became pregnant.

It is further alleged that the Bhadarsa Police Station didn’t file an FIR in this matter for more than 30 hours. It is also alleged that since 2012, this Police station had been running from the house of the accused SP leader Moeed Khan.

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran perform Bhumi Pujan for ₹27,000 crore semiconductor assembly and test facility in the state

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma along with Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran performed the Bhumi Pujan for the upcoming semiconductor plant in the state on 3rd August. The ₹27,000 crore plant by Tata Electronics Private Limited, which will be India’s first indigenous semiconductor assembly and test facility, is coming up at Jagiroad in Morigaon district in the state.

Both CM Sarma and Chandrasekaran performed the rituals amidst the chanting of hymns by priests from different parts of the country. The CM also unveiled a 3D model of the upcoming plant during the event.

“With the blessings of Maa Kamakhya, Srimanta Sankardev and our people, I performed the Bhumi Pujan of the Tata Semiconductor facility in Jagiroad along with Chairman of Tata Sons, Shri N Chandrasekaran,” Himanta Biswa Sarma posted on X after performing the Bhumi Pujan and addressing the gathering. He added that the “₹27,000 crore plant has an employment potential of over 27,000 jobs and will attract world-class industrial ecosystem that will spur India’s quest to become a global leader in new age tech.”

He called it a historic day for Assam, saying that it will remain an important date in Assam’s industrial development. “Once operational, it will transform the industrial landscape of Assam and herald a new era of growth,” said a tweet posted by the CM’s office.

The foundation stone for the greenfield Assembly, Testing, Marking, And Packaging (ATMP) facility by PM Narendra Modi on 13 March this year after it was approved by the union cabinet on 29 February along with two other semiconductor plants. The two other plants are a semiconductor fabrication unit by Tata Group in Gujarat’s Dholera and another ATMP unit by Murugappa Group’s CG Power in Sanand in Gujarat.

In ATMP plants, wafers produced by fabrication plants are assembled, tested and packaged into individual chips to be used in various electronic devices. The Assam plant will have a capacity of 48 million chips per day for automotive, electric vehicles, consumer electronics, telecom, and mobile phones. The plant will initially focus on three key platform technologies, wire bond, flip chip, and a differentiated offering called integrated systems in package (ISIP).

The Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Test (TSAT) project has further plans to expand its operations to advanced packaging technologies in the future. Tata Electronics is developing indigenous advanced semiconductor packaging technologies including flip chip and ISIP technologies.

The company’s decision to set up the plant in Assam came after the state govt introduced a productivity-linked incentive scheme for the semiconductor industry. Assam govt has also assured enough supply of clean water for the industry. The semiconductor industry requires a large quantity of ultra-pure water during processing, and Assam has an abundant supply of water from Brahmaputra and its numerous tributaries.

The plant is coming up at the plot where a paper mill of Hindustan Paper Corporation Limited was located. After the plant was shut down and the employees were given VRS, the state govt acquired the land from the company. In June this year, the company signed a 60-year lease agreement with the Assam government to build the plant on the plot of over 170 acres.

The Assam govt also signed an MoU with Tata group today to build a 5-star hotel in Kaziranga National Park. “This property will provide world-class experience to the visitors and encourage them to spend more time in Assam,” CM Sarma said.

Ayodhya MP Awadhesh Prasad brings Hindu-Muslim angle to the rape of minor girl by SP leader, claims CM Yogi has enmity with Muslims over demolition of accused Moeed Khan’s illegal bakery

On Saturday (3rd August), Samajwadi Party MP Awadhesh Prasad gave a communal angle to the UP administration’s crackdown against the gangrape accused SP leader Moeed Khan. Notably, Khan has been arrested for sexually exploiting a minor 12-year-old girl for several months. On Saturday, the administration sealed his illegal property and initiated bulldozer action against it. 

While responding to the demolition of Khan’s bakery, Ayodhya (Faizabad) MP Awadhesh Prasad peddled the Muslim victimhood boogie. He went on to allege that the demolition drive against illegal property of gangrape accused Khan was initiated because UP CM Yogi Adityanath has enmity with Muslims and Yadavs.

Speaking to news agency ANI, he demanded that a DNA test should be conducted in the Ayodhya gangrape case. He also demanded that no innocent should be framed. 

Responding to the allegations that the gangrape accused Moeed Khan was his close aide, Awadhesh Prasad claimed that he has never allowed any criminal to come near him and has never taken any help from them. Referring to his picture with Khan, he defended himself saying that lakhs of people click pictures with him.  

Meanwhile, he described the Ayodhya gangrape case as a very painful and shameful incident. He added that all the people involved in this incident should be investigated and action should be taken with full force against the guilty persons. While he demanded a DNA test in the gangrape case and stated that no innocents should be framed, he claimed that the Samajwadi Party stands with the victim. He also claimed that the party will not stand with criminals. He added that this is not a moment for politics and accused BJP of indulging in politics over this incident. 

Regarding his photograph with the gangrape accused Moeed Khan, the SP MP said, “I have never allowed anyone to come near me who has even the slightest connection with the crime. I have never taken any kind of help from them. As far as the photo (with the accused) is concerned. Lakhs of people click pictures with us, take selfies……”

He, however, gave the case a communal angle and alleged that the demolition drive was initiated because UP CM has a very old ideology and has enmity with Muslims and Yadavs. 

He said, “This is a very old ideology of Chief Minister (Yogi Adityanath) and we cannot tell what enmity he has with Muslims, Yadavs. Samajwadi Party has always fought against injustice… The Bharatiya Janata Party should not do politics on such a horrific, shameful incident…”
