Uttar Pradesh Minister and Nishad Party chief Sanjay Nishad criticized the Samajwadi Party (SP) for remaining silent on the rape of a minor girl in Ayodhya, accusing them of protecting SP leader Moeed Khan, the main accused. Nishad condemned SP's inaction, met the victim, and praised CM Yogi Adityanath for taking action. Moeed Khan's bakery was demolished for illegal construction. Khan, along with his house help, allegedly raped and blackmailed a 12-year-old girl. He was arrested and further accused of threatening the victim's family to settle the case.
