The SP leaders involved have been identified as Gautam Nagar Student Union President Mohit Nagar, State Secretary of Advocate Union Shyam Singh Bhati and State Secretary of Student Union Prashant Bhati.

What Triggered The Slap?
During the debate, Maulana Rashid reportedly made indecent and misogynistic remarks about Dimple Yadav. He criticised her attire during a recent visit to a mosque near the Parliament. He compared her to another SP MP, Iqra Hasan, who had covered her head.
Rashid said Dimple Yadav, who was wearing a sari, had “not abided by Islamic beliefs while sitting in the mosque.” He also questioned whether SP chief Akhilesh Yadav would file an FIR against the person who took her picture.

The cleric went further, saying, “A mosque is not a Parliament. An actress who works in movies half-naked comes fully covered to the Parliament. Then, should the dignity of a mosque be maintained?”
Leaders Demand Apology
According to the SP leaders, they asked Maulana Rashid several times to apologise for his comments. They said Dimple Yadav lives a simple life and such remarks were unacceptable. When Rashid refused to apologise, tempers flared, leading to him being slapped.
The leaders also tore case papers related to Dimple Yadav, which Rashid was holding at the time of the incident.
