Samajwadi Party Leaders Deny Allegations, Claim No Proof

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and other party members responded to Maulana Shahabuddin's accusations by demanding hard evidence. They dismissed the claims as unfounded and suggested that the cleric was attempting to politicise a religious issue.

According to the party, the only controversy previously highlighted by Akhilesh Yadav involved a modest Rs 2.5‑3 crore discrepancy in donations meant for a Ram temple, a figure that pales in comparison to the alleged multi‑billion‑rupee mismanagement of Wakf properties alleged by the Maulana.
