UP minister and Samajwadi Party senior leader Azam Khan has labelled Delhi Jama Masjid Shahi Imam Syed Ahmed Bukhari,as an agent of RSS. Khan said, “Had my son married a Hindu girl, it would have created a political storm, but RSS was silent when Bukhari’s son married a Hindu girl. RSS could not see a love jihad in this wedding.
“Khan had earlier criticized Bukhari for misleading the Muslim community in the state at the behest of the Bharatiya Janata Party. As usual Khan asked Bukhari to pay attention to religious activities and not meddle in UP politics.
In his counter attack Bukhari called Khan a ‘blot on the community’ and demanded his dismissal from the state cabinet. Bukhari further went on to write to SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and CM Akhilesh Yadav, alleging that Muslims had no say in the UP govt only because of Azam Khan, who is a blot on the community and demanded his dismissal from the cabinet.
Bukhari also targeted Khan’s wife, Tazeen Fatima, a Rajya Sabha MP. Bukhari said that the SP will face dire consequences in the 2017 assembly polls if Khan was not expelled from the party.
