NEW DELHI: The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) MPs staged a protest within the Parliament premises on Monday, strongly condemning the derogatory remarks made by Islamic cleric Maulana Sajid Rashidi against Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Dimple Yadav.
The MPs stood united outside the Parliament, holding placards that read, "Nari garima par prahar, nahi karenge kabhi bhi sweekar" (We will not tolerate any attack on women's dignity).
The protest comes in the wake of an FIR registered by the Lucknow Police against Maulana Sajid Rashidi for allegedly making inflammatory, objectionable, and misogynistic statements about the Mainpuri MP during a televised panel discussion.
