LUCKNOW, July 30 -- Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Sarojini Nagar Rajeshwar Singh on Tuesday criticised Maulana Sajid Rashidi for his recent remarks on Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav. "The incident is not just an insult to a single woman, but a direct assault on Indian culture, tradition, and the dignity of womanhood," he said. Singh took to the social media platform 'X' to sharply criticise the SP and its leadership. "In India, a woman is not weak but a symbol of strength, values and creation. Here, we touch the feet of mothers, daughters are revered as Lakshmi, and women draped in sarees are considered sacred. Those who insult this sanctity are neither protectors of culture nor of the nation," he said/ In strongly worded remarks, he condemned the silence of opposition parties, calling it a "cowardly silence shielded by pseudo-secularism." "Those who remain silent in the face of barbaric, misogynistic remarks by radical clerics are endorsing an anti-India mindset. This silence is not merely unfortunate, it is tantamount to a crime," Singh said. "Anyone who tolerates insults to traditional Indian attire like sari and the dignity of women stands against the soul, civilisation and the Constitution of this nation," he added. "Institutions that nurture such toxic ideologies should be banned. These mentally diseased individuals deserve the harshest punishment. Had such acts occurred in Iran, the culprit would have been flogged 74 times... There will be no compromise on women's dignity in this nation," Singh said....
