Irked by Azam Khan's remarks, Bukhari wants

Lucknow: The verbal
spat between Uttar Pradesh Minister Azam Khan and Delhi's Jama
Masjid Shahi Imam Syed Ahmed Bukhari has put the Samajwadi Party
supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav in a tight spot.
With neither of the two ready to backtrack and the resultant
adverse media hype, Mulayam Yadav has refused to visit the party
office for the last two days, close aides told IANS.
Both the Muslim leaders, however, continued to train guns at each
other, leaving the Samajwadi Party red-faced.
Azam Khan Saturday fired yet another salvo on Bukhari, calling him
a "non-entity" in Muslim politics and saying he got a ticket for
his son-in-law Umar Khan because of Mulayam Yadav's "mercy and
kind-heartedness".
Khan had earlier opposed the legislative council ticket given to
Bukhari's son-in-law, saying religious people should not be
obliged by the Samajwadi leadership.
Irked, Bukhari returned the ticket of his son-in-law Friday and
wrote a terse letter to Mulayam Yadav denying allegations that he
was seeking Samajwadi Party candidature to his family members.
Bukhari Saturday spewed venom at Khan. He called Khan not only a
"man with no standing among the Muslim community" but anti-Islam.
PWD Minister and Mulayam Yadav's brother Shivpal Yadav tried to
douse the flames.
"These things keep happening in a large family," he told IANS. "We
respect Imam Bukhari and we will hear what he has to say."
