Uttar Pradesh Hajj Committee Chairman Mohsin Raza said on Monday that it is known who is backing the accused in the Ayodhya gangrape case incident.
"Wherever Samajwadi party leaders win, they show their true colours and give impetus to violence," he told ANI. Raza added, "Whatever has happened there (in Ayodhya), everyone knows who the accused is, who he is backed by, and his affiliations with the Samajwadi party... The crime ratio was the maximum during the SP government and was always blamed on others..." Questioning the SP, the main opposition party in the State, over its demand for DNA test, Raza said, "How did you remember this DNA test thing today? How many such DNA tests were conducted during your tenure?" SP leader Moeed Khan and his house help are accused of raping and blackmailing a 12-year-old girl who worked as a daily wage employee at Khan's home in Ayodhya. A case has been filed against the SP leader for allegedly threatening the family of the rape victim to settle the case. Khan was arrested on Thursday for allegedly raping the girl for over two months. Later, a case was filed against the SP leader for allegedly threatening the family of the rape victim. The Ayodhya district administration on Saturday demolished the "illegally constructed" bakery of accused Moeed Khan. Earlier, Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati also slammed the Samajwadi Party over its demand of DNA test and asked how many DNA tests were done against such accused during SP-rule in the state. "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. 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." (ANI)
