Syed Bukhari, one of the Delhi Jama Masjid Shahi Imam, the most important religious Muslim leader said that Mulayam Singh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party, which governs Uttar Pradesh, and which he had backed in the 2012 state polls, had failed to protect Muslims.
He cited September’s riots in Muzaffarnagar in western Uttar Pradesh in which nearly 60 people were killed and nearly 80,000 displaced in Hindu-Muslim violence.
He has announced his support for RJD in Bihar which is allied with Congress in the coming Lok Sabha elections quoting that secular forces must unite to defeat those who are polarizing polls.
