Man attacks Shahi Imam, tries to set him on fire

NEW DELHI: Evening prayers at Jama Masjid were dramatically interrupted on Sunday after a 34-year-old man hurled kerosene on the Shahi Imam, Syed Ahmed Bukhari, and charged at him with a lighter in an apparent attempt to set him ablaze. However, the Imam's guards were able to apprehend the attacker in the nick of time and hand him over to the police.

The attacker was identified as Kamaaluddin alias Kamaal, a resident of south 24 Parganas in West Bengal. An FIR under section 307 (attempt to murder) has been registered at the local police station and the accused has been arrested, a senior cop said.

Not good for all communities. .

It was done out of pique by a Muslim since the Imam refused him audience.

Not a communal incident, but a personal one.

It is between the Imam, this Muslim bloke Kamaaluddin and then the Police.

It does not affect any community except maybe the Sunni Muslim community.

Imam can't even decide the fate of candidates standing in Chandini Chowk.

i feel it was done deliberately by him so that his security is increased by GOI. It is also an act to show muslims religious leaders in India are not safe with current central government.

Why has the Central Govt to ensure the safety of this man?

Is he someone who is important to the functioning of the State?

At this rate any Tom Dick and Johree will also demand protection from the State.

The bloke has enough money fleeced off his followers and so he should ensure his own protection. The money he scuppers in is not for him to feast and make merry, or is it?

Shahi Imam's Real Face revealed | Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis


he Congress president Sonia Gandhi has struck a deal with Shahi Imam of Delhi's Jama Masjid to secure the Muslim vote in the upcoming Lok Sabha election. The exact details of this deal are unknown but Shahi Imam is someone who does nothing for free of cost. His endorsement of the Congress must have come at a price. But what is this price?

Shahi Imam's writ runs large in and around Jama Masjid. Since he wants to support the secular forces, it is worth taking a look at his shenanigans. To begin with his post of Imam is to lead only prayers but he has become the owner of the Jama Masjid. For example, there is this guest house inside the Jama Masjid built with government's money which he is using as his personal rest house. He has even constructed a big house for his son next to this guest house. When the issue came to light, he dismissed such a big house as a mere bathroom.

In 2006, the Saudi Arabia prince Abdullah nearly got conned by Shahi Imam who had asked him for funds to repair the historic monument. When government learnt of this, Shahi Imam categorically denied having asked the prince for any financial help. He had assumed that the funds from the Saudi prince would directly flow into his coffers without the Government of India coming to know about it.

What else? The Jama Masjid also owed rupees 4 crore rupees in electricity bills dues. When pressed for the payment, he blamed the Waqf for the delay. But soon Waqf made it clear that since all the income generated from the Jama Masjid goes to Shahi Imam, he should foot the bill. Shahi Imam wanted waqf to make him the property owner. But the waqf refused and the matter went to court.

In 2005 the Delhi court ruled in waqaf's favour stating that the Jama masjid belonged to waqaf and Shahi Imam was waqaf's employee. There is still more. Even illegal activities are thriving around the Jama Masjid under Shahi Imam's protection. The police does not want to arrest him because this would cause communal riots in the vicinity. The things have come to such a pass that the police does not even register an FIR if the Accused or co-accused happens to be Shahi Imam.

Apart from all this, Shahi Imam's various flip-flops on his political posturing are only too well-known. He had spawned venom at the Congress in the past. Sonia Gandhi's desperation to seek the Muslim vote at any cost have forced her to turn a blind eye to Shahi Imam's past verbal valleys. He has subjected the Samajvadi party too to the same treatment. He has even endorsed the BJP in the past. His shifting political preferences are testimony to the fact that his endorsement is easy to come by if the party is ready to quote the right price. But is the Muslim community outside Delhi interested in following his advice or suggestion? The Congress should have done well to ask this important question before striking a closed door deal with Shahi Imam.

Delhi's Jama Masjid Shahi Imam invites Pak PM Sharif, not PM Modi for son's anointment



NEW DELHI: The Shahi Imam of Delhi's Jama Masjid, Syed Ahmed Bukhari Friday said he has not invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his son's anointment as the next chief cleric.

Bukhari, however, said he has invited Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and also four Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, including two ministers.

"We have invited the prime minister of Pakistan as we have had relations with him since my father's time, unlike with Modi, whom we have not invited," Bukhari said.

The anointment of Bukhari's son, 19-year-old Shaban, will take place on Nov 22. The guests have been invited for a special dinner on Nov 29.

"Modi has not done anything for Indian Muslims even after coming to power. Indian Muslims have not forgiven him for the 2002 Gujarat riots," Bukhari said, referring to the 2002 communal clashes in Gujarat in which around 1,000 Muslims were killed.

"Modi has not even apologised (for the riots) and reached out to the Muslims," he added.

"We have also invited Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi along with Vice President Hamid Ansari," Bukhari added.

Book this person for treason. Prime Minister of pakistan has no business in Indian functions nor he is any official guest of the STATE. No one has forgiven the FAKE GANDHI FAMILY for the 1984 anti-Sikh riots either. What about the HINDUS who died in the GODHRA RIOTS and also GODHRA TRAIN BURNINGS? Who burnt the train?

One person was trying to justify the act of not inviting PM, by stating that PM Modi hadn't invited Sahi Imam during his oath taking ceremony, while Nawaz Sharif was invited.
