Samajwadi Party leader and state cabinet minister Mohammed Azam Khan on the reason behind the atrocities against children. "Two-and-a-half-year olds are getting raped, why? It's because of mobile phones. Even in villages people can download things," the minister told ANI. 


He also compared Union minister V K Singhs dog analogy to Prime Minister Narendra Modis controversial puppy remark that he had made during the run-up to the general elections in 2013, saying he was not surprised by the statement as it was the culture rampant in the BJP.

I dont see anything wrong in what he has said. The Prime Minister had used the word puppy and now the puppy has become a fully grown dog. This is the culture of the BJP and the RSS and it is terribly hurting the nation, Khan said.

You can see the evil taking root in Punjab, then Dadri and then the Dalits, and now it is seeping across the nation, Khan added.

He asserted that in the name of beef the second biggest majority in the nation was being persecuted and that the Muslim community was fearful of what was to come next.
