False claim circulates regarding Akhilesh Yadav paying respects to gangster Atiq Ahmed
Lucknow: A photo circulating on social media purportedly showing Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav and his wife Dimple Yadav paying respects at the grave of gangster and politician Atiq Ahmed has been debunked as false. The claim has been refuted with evidence proving that the image is from 2022 when the couple visited the burial site of Mulayam Singh Yadav.
Upon conducting a reverse image search, it was found that the same photo was shared by Akhilesh Yadav on his official Twitter account in November 2022. The tweets indicated that the visit took place before filing nomination papers for the Mainpuri Lok Sabha by-poll.
Dimple Yadav also posted the identical photo on her 'X' account, corroborating the fact that they were at Mulayam Singh Yadav's memorial site, not Atiq Ahmed's.
In conclusion, the viral photo does not depict Akhilesh and Dimple Yadav paying respects to Atiq Ahmed but rather visiting the grave of Mulayam Singh Yadav in 2022.
मैनपुरी उपचुनाव में सपा के प्रत्याशी के रूप में दरअसल नेताजी की समाजवादी आस्थाओं का ही नामांकन हो रहा है। जिस प्रकार दलगत राजनीति से ऊपर उठकर सभी दलों के लोगों और जनमानस ने सैफई आकर नेताजी को श्रद्धांजलि दी है, उसका सच्चा परिणाम ये होगा कि सपा प्रत्याशी की ऐतिहासिक जीत होगी। pic.twitter.com/25Q4FFKSe4

DMK seeks separate seating in Lok Sabha after split with Congress alliance
New Delhi: Kanimozhi Karunanidhi has written to the Lok Sabha Speaker seeking a separate seating arrangement for Members of Parliament belonging to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) following the end of the party’s alliance with the Indian National Congress.
In a letter dated May 7 addressed to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Kanimozhi said the changed political situation made it inappropriate for DMK MPs to continue sitting alongside Congress members in the House.
She requested the Speaker to make “suitable changes” in the seating arrangement of the DMK Parliamentary Party and allot separate seating for its MPs.
“In view of the changed political circumstances and as our alliance with the Indian National Congress has come to an end, it may not be appropriate for our Members to continue occupying the present seating arrangement alongside them in the House,” the letter stated.
Kanimozhi further said separate seating would help DMK members effectively discharge their responsibilities in the Lok Sabha.
