Tezzbuzz Desk – These days, the Masood family of Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh is in the news these days due to political differences as well as family disputes. The political tussle that started within the family after Congress MP Imran Masood's son-in-law Shayan Masood joined the Samajwadi Party now appears to be reaching personal relationships. On one hand, Shayan Masood has decided his political path with Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav, while on the other hand, Imran Masood appeared emotional about his daughter's situation.
This whole incident started when Shayan Masood left Congress and joined Samajwadi Party. On August 20, Akhilesh Yadav gave him party membership. After joining SP, Shayan raised questions on the political strategy of Imran Masood and said that it is necessary to stand with Akhilesh Yadav to defeat BJP.
After this political decision of Shayan, differences in the Masood family started coming to the fore. Family member Hamza Masood came live on social media and made many serious allegations against Shayan and his father Shadan Masood. Hamza made allegations like alleged assault with his sister, indecent behavior and throwing her out of the house along with the child. He claimed that considering the prestige and kinship of the family, these things were kept silent for many years.
Shayan also put forward his side
After Hamza's allegations, Shayan Masood presented his side by releasing a video. He said that if political protest is to be done then it should be done in the political arena, personal matters of the family should not be brought on public platform.
Shayan also indicated that he too has many things to say, but he does not want to make the family's personal life public. He said that if the discussion takes place among the family then he is ready to answer every question.
Amidst the controversy, a statement of Imran Masood is the most discussed. Imran became emotional while mentioning his daughter in a media interview. He said that only the father whose daughter is in front of him and who is seeing her suffering can understand that pain.
Imran Masood also clarified that joining any political party is not a crime in itself, but if his daughter has been abandoned then it is the biggest pain for him. His statement is being linked to his concern and emotional pain as a father towards his daughter.
The politics of father-in-law and son-in-law became a problem for the family.
The case is also special because Shayan Masood is not an external political rival. He is the son-in-law of Imran Masood. On the other hand, Hamza Masood also comes from the same family and has publicly made allegations against Shayan.
In this way, the differences that started over political ideology have now brought many family members face to face. Shayan's political closeness with Akhilesh Yadav and concern about Imran Masood's daughter have made the entire controversy more sensitive.
Imran said old things regarding the safety of the family
Imran Masood also mentioned the events of the year 2022 during this controversy. He indicated that at that time he was under pressure from his family regarding political decisions. He said that during that period he kept the safety of family and children above politics.
Hamza Masood claims that he too was separated from Imran Masood's house and distance remained between the two for about three years. These statements indicate that the roots of discord within the family are not limited to current political developments.
Political tussle in Masood family is old
Political differences have come up in the Masood family before also. In the year 2014, Shadan Masood had contested against Imran Masood on Samajwadi Party ticket. After that election, there was a lot of tension in the relations between the two families and it also came to light that talks had stopped for a long time.
However, relations improved later. During this time, family relations became stronger and Imran Masood's daughter got married to Shayan Masood, son of Shadan Masood. After this marriage that took place about five years ago, both the families once again became bound by kinship.
But now after Shayan joining SP and questioning the political line of Imran Masood, old differences have once again come into discussion.
What is the relationship of Masood family?
The political background of Masood family is also quite old. Rashid Masood and Rashid Masood were real brothers. Both played important roles in family politics. Rashid Masood's five sons also include Imran Masood and Noman Masood. Hamza Masood is the son of Noman Masood.
On the other hand, Rashid Masood is the son of Shadan Masood and Shayan Masood is the son of Shadan. For this reason, Shayaan's relationship with Imran Masood's family is connected on two levels – on one hand, he is the son of Shaadaan Masood and on the other hand, he is the husband of Imran Masood's daughter, i.e. his son-in-law.
This family relationship makes the current political dispute more complicated. At present, on one hand, Shayan Masood is carrying forward his political innings with SP and Akhilesh Yadav, while on the other hand, Imran Masood is seen publicly emotional about his daughter. In such a situation, everyone's eyes are on which direction this dispute of Masood family will take in the coming days.
