BJP, SP Clash Over Mosque Visit Near Parliament
Imagine some politicians from one party went to a mosque.
Another party didn't like it, saying they were having a political meeting there, which isn't allowed.
The first party said it was just a friendly get-together.
The second party also said the first party was trying to distract everyone from the important stuff.
Now, the first party's minority group wants to hold a meeting at the same mosque.
It's like a disagreement about what happened and what's important, with each side pointing fingers.

SP leaders, including Akhilesh and Dimple Yadav, refuted the allegations, calling it a social gathering.

SP accused BJP of diverting attention from real issues, such as the Bihar electoral roll revision.
