LUCKNOW — Jama Masjid Naib Imam Ahmad Bukhari has said the Congress is the main enemy of the Muslims, not because it has done nothing for the community but because of its back-stabbing policies.
Bukhari, who was in the state capital on Thursday, said that Muslims should prefer regional parties in the state to ensure the defeat of communal forces and the Congress should be their last option.
Showing his disenchantment with the Congress, Bukhari said even the BJP was better then the Congress for it always attacked from the front. "The Congress has always hit Muslims on the back and, therefore, is worse than the BJP," Bukhari said. The Naib Imam was all praise for BSP and its leader Mayawati. "Mayawati has set an example for others by doing a lot for the backwards and Dalits.
Not one Muslim leader in power has done anything for his community," said Bukhari adding that the Samajwadi Party and the Congress had taken the Muslim support for granted to defeat the BJP. Backing the stand of Uttar Pradesh Governor T.V. Rajeswar, the Naib Imam said that no one should be allowed to become the pro-chancellor of Maulana Ali Jauhar University. Bukhari termed Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan's stance of becoming the life-long pro-chancellor of Jauhar University as improper. "I have serious doubts on the intentions of Azam Khan as to whether he wants the creation of a university or only wants to politicise the matter," he said.
