In a dramatic turn of events, controversy ignited over a Muslim cleric's alleged derogatory comments towards Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav, prompting aggressive protests by NDA MPs in the Parliament complex.

Amidst demands for accountability, ruling NDA members, especially women, denounced the silence of Yadav's party and her husband, Akhilesh Yadav. The cleric's remarks, reportedly comparing Yadav unfavorably to another woman MP during a mosque meeting, drew widespread condemnation from BJP, Congress, and JD(U) representatives.

Congress leader Renuka Chowdhury and BJP's Bansuri Swaraj vehemently criticized the comments, while an FIR was lodged in Uttar Pradesh, citing the cleric's words as inflammatory and harmful to women's dignity and national integrity. Despite the uproar, Yadav questioned the consistency of NDA's support regarding past incidents like the Manipur violence.
