Muslim organizations to boycott Modi's Muslim face

GANDHINAGAR: Several Muslim religious organizations have issued fatwas against Gujarat BJP's minority cell president Sufi Mehboob Ali Chishti (Bava) calling for his social boycott. Chishti had shot into limelight during chief minister Narendra Modi's Sadbhavna Mission fast in 2011 as he had made many of the arrangements.

Sources said that 19 maulanas from Surat and Bharuch districts have issued fatwas against Chishti on charges of trying to divide the community through his book 'Tajine Sajda Jayaz Hai'. The maulanas have alleged that he is using his clout to settle property and business dealings.




Chishti however has dismissed the allegations against him as political conspiracy. He says that the Election Commission has even censured Congress leaders in the past for making inflammatory speeches against him.

He was recently attacked by fellow BJP minority cell workers at the party headquarter in Khanpur in Ahmedabad.

Chishti also heads the state Haj committee and is a national office bearer of the BJP. His re-appointment as the party's minority cell president was opposed by several minority leaders from the party.

Muslim BJP workers had complained against Chishti to party president R C Faldu and Modi about his alleged anti-party activities.

Chishti is the head priest of famous Atladara Dargah in Surat and is one of young BJP leaders from Gujarat to be appointed as secretary in the national body of the party on Modi's recommendation. He is expected to play a key role in mobilizing Muslim votes in the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls.
