In a recent controversy, LJP (Ram Vilas) MP Shambhavi Choudhary denounced Maulana Sajid Rashidi for making disparaging remarks against Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav. She labeled the attack as communal and called for political unity in defending women's dignity across party lines.
Choudhary voiced her concerns via ANI, stressing the need for a collective stance against insults to a woman's dignity, irrespective of political affiliations. She criticized Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav's silence over the issue, pointing out what she sees as 'appeasement politics' that hinders his response.
In reaction to the incident, BJP MP Medha Kulkarni expressed shock over Akhilesh Yadav's lack of response, suggesting that it exemplifies extreme appeasement. This follows NDA MPs staging a protest against Maulana Rashidi outside Parliament, condemning his comments targeting Dimple Yadav's attire during a mosque visit.
