The Samajwadi Party leader from Maharashtra who in his letter has stated that Raheen Memon be made a Rajya Sabha member was removed from his post. He attempts to raise a sentiment that suggests that Yakub Memon was wrongly hanged. The Samajwadi Party has however not reacted to the letter. It intends keeping a safe distance from the leader's request. The Samajwadi Party has in fact said that the letter is wrong.
