The Imam of a Kolkata mosque today issued a ‘fatwa’ against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of “bluffing” the people through demonetisation, evoking a sharp reaction from BJP which demanded his arrest.
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 ‘fatwa’, 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. The fatwa against our Prime Minister is highly condemnable. TMC MP Idris Ali was sitting next to him when he issued the fatwa.”
