New Delhi, June 4 (IANS) Criticising yoga guru Baba Ramdev’s fast against corruption as a “political conspiracy”, Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid Syed Ahmed Bukhari Saturday said “communalism is a bigger issue than corruption”.
“People who raise this issue of corruption are also not clean. The issue of communalism is much bigger in the country,” Bukhari told IANS.
“Corruption is a problem, but the communalism is a bigger threat to the country,” he added.
“It is a conspiracy involving by the parties such as Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress.
“Congress is trying to woo Ramdev. Muslim population of this country are begging for their rights since last 63 years, but nobody cares,” Bukhari said.
