NEW DELHI: Syed Ahmed Bukhari, the Shahi Imam of Delhi’s Jama Masjid, on Thursday invited Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for his son’s appointment as the next chief cleric, but excluded Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi from the guest list, the Times of India reported.
Bukhari did however invite four Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, including two ministers.
“We have invited the prime minister of Pakistan as we have had relations with him since my father’s time, unlike with Modi, whom we have not invited,” the paper reported Bukhari as saying.
“Modi has not done anything for Indian Muslims even after coming to power. Indian Muslims have not forgiven him for the 2002 Gujarat riots,” Bukhari said, referring to the 2002 riots in Gujarat in which at least 1,000 Muslims were killed.

Not a wise step.
Once more Bukhari family has proved that they are not able to take good decision either in favour of muslims or in favour of nation. If they do not like Narendra Modi no problem it is their wish. But Prime Minister should be liked by each and every Indians. Prime Minister should be invited. It is a wrong step.
