RAMPUR:In a fresh attack on Delhi Jama Masjid Shahi Imam Syed Ahmed Bukhari, Uttar Pradesh cabinet minister and Samajwadi Party senior leader Azam Khan labelled him as an agent of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
Addressing mediapersons at his home on Friday, Khan said, "Had my son married a Hindu girl, it would have created a political storm, but RSS was silent when Bukhari's son married a Hindu girl. RSS could not see a love jihad in this wedding."

Khan had earlier criticized Bukhari for misleading the Muslim community in the state at the behest of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Khan asked Bukhari to pay attention to religious activities and not meddle in UP politics.
In a tit for tat, Bukhari called Khan a 'blot on the community' and demanded his dismissal from the state cabinet. Bukhari further went on to write to SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, alleging that Muslims had no say in the UP government only because of Azam Khan, who is a blot on the community and demanded his dismissal from the cabinet.
Bukhari also targeted Khan's wife, Tazeen Fatima, a Rajya Sabha MP. Bukhari said that the SP will face dire consequences in the 2017 assembly polls if Khan was not expelled from the party.
The Imam wrote, "Resentment among Muslims against Azam and the SP government is growing every day. Muslims have already expressed their anger against the SP government by voting against them during the recently-concluded panchayat elections." He went on to add that leaders like Azam Khan have used politics for personal benefits by exploiting and fanning Hindu-Muslim fault lines.
