Controversial remarks on PDA and “Islamic law” spark debate

Rajbhar further targeted statements made by SP MLA Lal Bihari Yadav, mocking his claim that a “PDA” could mean “will beat Ahir.” He dismissed the comments as baseless and said that Yadav’s supporters are losing mental balance. The minister also reacted to religious scholar Maulana Sajid Rasheed’s call for an “Islamic law,” urging that any such legislation be drafted outside India, adding that the country already operates under a robust legal framework.
