"How many DNA tests have been done against such accused in their govt"?: Mayawati hits out at Akhilesh's DNA test demand in Ayodhya rape case

Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) [India] August 3 (ANI): Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati hit back at Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday for demanding DNA tests of the accused in Ayodhya rape case.
Mayawati retorted with a sharp critique: "How many DNA tests have been done against such accused in their government?"
Justifying the Uttar Pradesh government's strict action against the accused in the Ayodhya gangrape case is justified, Mayawati said, "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."
She further urged the UP government to take strict steps against the accused.
"Amidst the growing concerns about crime control and law and order in UP, especially about women's safety and harassment, the incidents in Ayodhya and Lucknow etc. are extremely sad and worrying. It would be better if the government took strict steps to prevent these by rising above caste, community and politics," she posted on X.
The Ayodhya administration demolished the bakery of SP leader Moeed Khan, the main accused in the gang rape of a minor girl today.
Earlier, Kannauj MP Akhilesh Yadav posted on X, "In the case of misdeeds, the way for justice should be found by getting DNA tests done of 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 proved false after the DNA test, then the government officials involved should also not be spared. This is the demand of justice." Akhilesh Yadav said on X.
SP MP from Faizabad, Awadesh Prasad, talking about the case, told ANI, "As far as this incident is concerned, it is very painful and shameful. All the people involved in this incident should be investigated, the truth should be found out and whoever is guilty, action should be taken with full force against them."
"It is unfortunate that the Bharatiya Janata Party is doing politics on this. I humbly request such people that this is not a moment for politics." MP Awadesh Prasad said. (ANI)
