Video of Maulana Sajid Rashidi of All India Imam Association, went viral on social media in which he objected to slogans of the "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" slogan in schools.
Maulana Sajid Rashidi said, "Hazrat Adam too believed in Allah. Be it Shri Ram or you take an example of any god or goddess. Every one of them is a descendant of Hazrat Adam."
It is notable that the controversial Maulana had recently sparked outrage after claiming that Mahmud of Ghazni had not destroyed the Somnath Temple rather he was informed that ‘wrong activities’ were taking place in the temple in the name of faith and deities and young girls were abducted.
As the construction of a grand temple at the Shri Ram Janambhoomi continues in full swing, Maulana Sajid Rashid, the chairman of All India Imam Association has stoked controversy
Maulana Sajid Rashidi, earlier tried to corner the Uttar Pradesh government for surveying the unrecognised madarsas. On September 14, he urged madarsa authorities to welcome state surveying authorities with slippers and shoes.
