National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) chairperson Priyank Kanoongo on Saturday targeted Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav over his demand for DNA test of accused in Ayodhya gang-rape case.
In a post on X, Kanoongo said, “A minor girl has been raped, the allegations are against your party leader and you are doggedly defending him. This is the same DNA that defends rapists of girls by saying, ‘Boys make mistakes'”.
एक नाबालिग लड़की का बलात्कार हुआ है,आरोप आपकी पार्टी के नेता पर हैं और आप हठधर्मिता से उसका बचाव कर रहे हैं।

ये वही DNA है जो बच्चियों के बलात्कारियों के बचाव कहता है कि “लड़कों से गलती हो जाती है”
आप बच्चों के लिए क़ानून बनाने वाली संसद के सदस्य हैं पीड़ित बच्ची के प्रति थोड़ी… https://t.co/yQ2skouKX9
He further urged the Samajwadi Party MP to show some humanity towards the victim.
“You are a member of the Parliament that makes laws for children, please show some humanity towards the victimised girl. Honourable MP, think beyond caste, religion and DNA. You MPs are the protectors of the children of the country, the children are your responsibility,” he added.
Echoing the demand of Faizabad MP Awadhesh Prasad to conduct a DNA test in the case of the gang rape of a minor girl, Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav said on Saturday that DNA tests should be done on the rape accused to deliver justice to the victim.
In a post on X, Akhilesh said, “In the case of misdeeds, the way for justice should be found by getting DNA tests done on 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 proven false after the DNA test, then the government officials involved should also not be spared. This is the demand for justice.”
कुकृत्य के मामले में जिन पर भी आरोप लगा है उनका DNA TEST कराकर इंसाफ़ का रास्ता निकाला जाए न कि केवल आरोप लगाकर सियासत की जाए। जो भी दोषी हो उसे क़ानून के हिसाब से पूरी सज़ा दी जाए, लेकिन अगर DNA TEST के बाद आरोप झूठे साबित हों तो सरकार के संलिप्त अधिकारियों को भी न बख्शा जाए।…

The Ayodhya administration demolished the bakery of SP leader Moeed Khan, the main accused in the gang rape of a minor girl today.
Bahujan Samaj Party Chief Mayawati slammed the Samajwadi Party over the DNA test demand and asked how many DNA tests were done during their tenure.
1. यूपी सरकार द्वारा अयोध्या गैंगरेप केस में आरोपी के विरुद्ध की जा रही सख्त कार्रवाई उचित, लेकिन सपा द्वारा यह कहना कि आरोपी का DNA टेस्ट होना चाहिये, इसे क्या समझा जाए। जबकि सपा को यह भी बताना चाहिए कि उनकी सरकार में ऐसे आरोपियों के खिलाफ कितने DNA टेस्ट हुए हैं। 1/2

“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. Whereas SP should also tell how many DNA tests have been done against such accused in their government,” she said on X.
