Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal has asked for the support from the controversial cleric of Barelvi, Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan, who had issued a fatwa against Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen, attempting to play a communal card ahead of Delhi assembly elections.
But Arvind Kejriwal argued that by meeting with the controversial cleric Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan, he was not playing any communal card.
He said,“I want to clear one thing first. I went to offer prayers in Bareilly. Maulana Raza is a respected man, and I met him because he is the head there. And I appealed to him that everyone should save this nation. We are trying to tackle evil politics with love and peace.
Arvind said further, "I have no idea about charges levelled against him, we spoke to Raza again today, and he told us that the charges on him are wrong. Tauqeer Raza said he had never issued a fatwa, because only a Mufti can issue one, and he is not a Mufti. He said there was a board of 100 members, and he was a member of that board some time back. And the Mufti issued a fatwa. He said he was targeted because people knew him well,".
INDIA HONEST asks to Mr. Kejriwal few honest questions :
a) how many times you have prayed earlier at Bareilly mosque or any other mosque in the last ten years ?
b)why he failed to meet Maulana Raza Khan, when he was in association of the "most real sense secular leader" Anna was agitating against corruption ?
c) how people will believe that you are not aware of charges against Maulana Raza Khan, for issuing fatwa against Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen ?
d) will you buy the logic that as Raza was not the Mufti but only a member of the board, he is not liable for the fatwa. Tell to the people, if Aap leader Kejriwal makes any announcement as chief of party,will Kumar Biswas be liable for that or not ?
e) where is the difference between what you are doing in the name of "trying to tackle evil politics with love and peace" and the so called secular Rahul of Congress did by promoting venom in Muzzfernagar riot victims and among other Muslims or SP's Mulayam Singh's repeated attempts to seek support from Maulana Bukhari before every election?
INDIA HONEST laughs on such leaders, who failed from the path before the journey started. How the goal of ""corruption and communalism free strong India"" can be achieved with this mentality ?
One important thing most indulgent political leader could never imagine and understand that the "desire or lust for chair or power " is much bigger corruption then 10 or 100 crores of money, that can ruin a nation.
IH remembers one poem, "kajal ki kothari me kitno hi sayano jaye, ek lik lagihe hi lagihe"..............in politics, the desire or lust for power has changed many great Saints, Kejriwal's Aap is new and untested player, should be cautious.
