BJP MPs protest against Muslim cleric’s remarks on Samajwadi Party leader Dimple Yadav

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MPs on Monday (July 28, 2025) held a protest outside Parliament against the recent remarks of a cleric about Samajwadi Party’s Lok Sabha member Dimple Yadav.

Maulana Sajid Rashidi, the cleric, had criticised Ms. Yadav, wife of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, for visiting a mosque near the Parliament without covering her head.

Talking to the media about the protest by BJP MPs, Ms. Yadav said it would have been better if they had protested against the violence in Manipur, the videos of which were circulated on social media.
