Dilip Ghosh on Fatwa against him for Mamata remarks

The war of words between TMC and BJP in West Bengal escalated further with a Muslim cleric issuing a Fatwa against BJP state president Dilip Ghosh. Shahi Imam of Tipu Sultan Mosque Maulana Noor-ur Rahman Barkati told a press conference that he has issued the fatwa against Ghosh for “making filthy comments against the chief minister”.

“From where does he get such audacity to make filthy comments against our beloved chief minister who is the most secular leader of our country’ I issued the fatwa which states that he should be pelted with stones and then kicked out of Bengal. He does not deserve to stay in Bengal,” Barkati said.

Barkati was accompanied by TMC MP Idris Ali, who too condemned Ghosh for his comments. Reacting to the Barkati’s charges, Ghosh lashed out at him and said this country is neither Pakistan nor Bangladesh that he could issue fatwa and would go scot-free.
