Only both parties can comment on this matter. Nowadays, it's not clear where news comes from on social media. This isn't a policy issue for the Samajwadi Party. This is a husband-wife, family matter. Only a family member can provide a better opinion on this. If this were a political matter, the party would certainly have given a political reaction. It would be better if the people involved speak on this matter.
