BJP demands Imam's arrest for accusing PM Modi of deceiving people

January 8, 2017

Kolkata/New Delhi, Jan 8: Bharatiya Janata Party has demanded the arrest of the chief Imam of a Kolkata mosque for slamming Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his unfulfilled promises and continued sufferings of people in India.

hqdefaultAccusing PM Modi of deceiving the people, Syed Mohammad Nurur Rahman Barkati, the Shahi Imam of Kolkata's Tipu Sultan Masjid, said: "Everyday people are harassed and facing problem due to demonetisation."

"Modi is bluffing the society and the innocent people of the country through demonetisation and nobody wants him to continue as the Prime Minister," he said during a joint conference by the All India Majlis-e-Sura and All India Minority Forum here.

Slamming the Imam, BJP National Secretary Sidharth Nath Singh, who is in-charge of party's West Bengal affairs, said in Delhi, "We demand that Mamata Banerjee immediately order his arrest. Thefatwa' against our Prime Minister is highly condemnable. TMC MP Idris Ali was sitting next to him when he issued thefatwa'."

Warning of protests if the state government did not take any action against the imam, Singh said, "This is not an issue between BJP and TMC. This is an insult of the Prime Minister by a religious leader considered close to the Chief Minister."

Earlier Barkati alleged, "People who keep beard are mostly religious like maulanas, sadhus, sufis, sikh gurus. But Modi keeping beard is 'bhondami' (bluffing). I have no hesitation in saying that he (Modi) is bluffing the country. He (Modi) has lost all his credentials as the Prime Minister."

Terming Modi "communal" and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee as a figure of "communal harmony", he claimed that most of the people in the country now want Banerjee to be the Prime Minister of the country.

Last month Barkati had slammed BJP state president Dilip Ghosh for his comments against Banerjee.

Dear Sidharth, please first educate yourself by the meaning of Fatwa. You cannot say it as \Fatwa\" for everyone's statement. This Imam has expressed his own thinkings and this is not related to the religion and has no relation with Fatwa. I think you term it as Fatwa if any Imam sneezes. I think you dont wat any comments agaisnt our PM. You might be loving our PM very much but you cant force every one to do the same. Why are you not putting pressure on Karnataka Govt for arrest of goonda BJP MP anantga kumar who did murder attempt of doctors and destroyed property int he hospital. Are you praising him for this too? Why do you have double standard? Educate yourself dear."

Bengaluru, May 11: As many as 343 Indians returned to Bengaluru from London by a special Air India flight on the fifth day of 'Vande Bharat Mission' on Monday. They arrived at the Kempegowda international airport at 4.40 am.

All passengers were found to be asymptomatic on arrival except one 27-year-old woman who had had an incomplete abortion and had vomiting on arrival. She has been shifted to KC General Hospital in Malleshwaram.

Dr Prabhu Dev Gowda, an officer on duty for COVID-19 screening at Kempegowda International Airport, said, "A 27-year-old woman has had an incomplete abortion of her three-month-old foetus before taking the flight from London. She was vomiting on arrival. She was shifted to Aster CMI Hospital for emergency care.”

“Thereafter, she and her husband were shifted to KC General Hospital in Malleshwaram. They will be in isolation there. Since there is nobody to look after her, we have to let the husband accompany her to the hospital where they will be in quarantine."

The patient was famished and was provided a few idlis on arrival, he added.

After she recovers at the hospital, the couple will be shifted to a hotel. As per protocol, their throat swabs were taken for COVID-19 testing too. All passengers whether symptomatic or not are being tested for COVID-19.

Dr Manjula Devi, District Health Officer, Bengaluru Rural district said that all passengers were found to be asymptomatic on arrival except this woman who is being treated as a non-COVID-19 emergency.

Ajith Rai, Devanahalli Tehsildar told DH, "All passengers have chosen to go to hotels over government hostels. We're yet to tabulate how many have chosen budget hotels, three-star and five-star hotels. Twenty of them are still here. The process is on."
