He has also accused Ram Gopal Yadav of creating the division in the party in connivance with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). He said that Mulayam had done his best for his son, Akhilesh Yadav, but the young chief minister had not responded accordingly.
Speaking to APN correspondent Bhim Manohar, the Maulana made an emotional appeal to people of all faiths, especially Muslims, to support Mulayam during this trying period. Despite certain differences with the senior SP leader, the Maulana emphasised that the present situation demandedan honest response. Mulayam is down and out, and we must all support him, he added.
The Maulana also appealed to the Election Commission to resolve the election symbol issue at the earliest.
Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan is the great-grandson of Maulana Ahmad Raza Khan, founder of the Sunni Barelvi school in India. Founder of the Ittehad-e-Millat Council, he was appointed Vice-Chairman of the UP State Handloom Corporation with the rank of minister of state in May 2013. However, he resigned in December that year in protest against the Akhilesh Yadav government’s failure to prevent the Muzaffarnagar communal riots.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
