New Delhi, April 05 (ANI): The declaration by Imam of Jama Masjid, Syed Ahmed Bukhari to endorse the Congress party, triggered a row among many political parties on Saturday. BJP leader MJ Akbar said that the Muslim community needs development and not communal politics. Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Sudhindra Bhadoria condemned Bukhari’s action and said he has approached several parties in the past. However, Congress leader Satyavrat Chaturvedi justified Bukhari’s support and rather slammed Modi. Earlier on Friday, Muslim cleric Syed Ahmed Bukhari appealed to India's Muslims, who at 13 percent of the population are the country's largest religious minority, to vote for the Congress party.
