Controversial Muslim cleric Noor-ur-Rehman Barkati was sacked on Wednesday as the shahi imam of Kolkata’s Tipu Sultan mosque after months of controversy over a series of fatwas and refusal to give up the red beacon.

A meeting of the trustees of the 165-year-old mosque decided to remove Barkati - considered close to West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee - for “objectionable and inflammatory remarks against the country”.


Barkati, known as the ‘fatwa imam’, had courted controversy over a series of diktats against prominent personalities including Prime Minister Narendra Modi. What prompted his sacking was threat of a ‘jihad’ if India was declared a Hindu state.

He had also refused to remove the red beacon on his vehicle following the Centre’s decision to do away with what is considered a status symbol for many. Barkati was later forced to remove the beacon by the Bengal government.

“The termination notice was sent today. The notice has told him that he is not the imam from today (Wednesday),” said Arif Ahmed, chairman of the Prince Gholam Mohammad Wakf Estate, the custodian of the mosque.

The trust gave him seven days to vacate the office or potentially face forcible eviction by police.

A defiant Barkati, however, said the committee had no right to sack him.

“I have been the imam for 30 years. The committee is functioning for 12 years only. It cannot sack me. They are conspiring against me with the help of a section of the media. I have to explore what legal step I can take,” he told reporters.

The cleric said he was will speak to Banerjee on her return from Delhi. 

Other prominent names to have faced Barkati’s fatwas include author Salman Rushdie, Bangladesh-born writer Taslima Nasreen and Canadian columnist Tarek Fateh.

The Wakf Estate authorities has given the mosque trustee board the responsibility to find a new imam. A senior cleric will perform Barkati’s duties till his successor is found.

Shahezada Anwar Ali Shah, the head of the mosque board, earlier described Barkati as a “blot on our community”.

The man known for his burgundy beard and about a dozen pet cats seemed to enjoy a degree of impunity as he got away even after announcing the fatwa against Modi, over which a BJP leader had filed a police complaint.

But Barkati’s relation with the establishment soured last week after his jihad comments. On May 13, Banerjee sent urban development minister Firhad Hakim to chastise him and also to force him to remove the red beacon on his car.

The same day, library minister Siddiqullah Chowdhury also held an agitation against the imam outside his mosque.

The trustee board head said the mosque received a flood of complaints against Barkati, prominent among which is the false claim of being shahi imam.

According to Shah, a shahi imam is one who administers namaaz to royal families, or is appointed by a royal family. “Barkati is the second generation imam from his family after his father. He took over the charge as the imam in 1989,” he said.

The trustee board chief also said that a police complaint has been filed against Barkati for forcefully snatching away the keys of rooms of the mosques including the record room.

There are also complaints against the imam for misusing the mosque complex for press conferences and running personal businesses like conducting marriages.

We have many many wonderful muslims that care for the country and help the needy.
Alas only the bad muslims get the most airtime.

ah there is no bad or good Muslim and who will decide what makes them good or bad.
so lets not go there shall we.
we can however argue that India has enough of good law abiding citizens. to that i may agree.
but why are they given airtime? that is not very productive nor constructive.
Just food for your thought - Constitution of the Dominion of India is at stake and that is of grave concern to me as a neighbor.

Here your beloved imam when he got beaten up. Lol

now he represents a true Muslim Indian. beaten up, devastated, claustrophobic, castrated, knows his place in the pecking order.

thanks for the share.

and to think he wanted to create a separatist movement hahahaha is that Hena or some local weed strain.

We have many like him, if you want we can transport to you.
BTW it is easy to dream for broken India while sitting in Pakistan as keyboard warrior .
But I can clearly see a broken Pakistan into four in near future as Pakistan is very weak internally and externally.
You can't save Pakistan which is based on a propaganda machine.

Why do you think we would want them? We took a good chunk in 1947 till 1971 and frankly now its too late for them to decide on whether staying in India or choosing Pakistan. They are just a tad too late on the two nation theory.

Apart from the kitchen sink we have been thrown everything else. Racial ethnic lines, sectarian, politically WEST aligned or China, right vs left. We have seen it all. We know our weaknesses better than you my fellow inhabitant of the South Asia.

But the concern is that the 'Indian Dream' your state and constitution has sold over the 70 years is fizzing out. With multiple separatist movements and cultural differences between the north and the south. The next bigger question is going to be 'What makes on Indian?'. See the thing is the world has put you on a pedestal till yet and the moment it takes away that, you are going to fall flat.

Every country goes through the same motions, the same curve. Why are you getting overwhelmed at the start?

You read too much propaganda mate.
This is not surprise for me why democracy is an alien concept for any Pakistani.
Diverse culture is beauty of Indian Union, not weakness.
But if really want to talk particularly about Muslims . They are not happy while living with other faiths people all over the world. India is not exceptional in this regard.

Epic Fail.
Darjeeling unrest is lead by a Hindu nationalist group which is an ally of BJP/RSS.
They want a Hindu state within India.

Even with that argument no country has that amount of Muslims. So i do not know how you plan to control all of them without much needed help from Pakistan.
So if its diverse in Pakistan it is a weakness?
We have a thriving democracy tailored to our need.

Since you are sensible than an average propaganda fed Pakistani. Can you answer me what makes an Indian? define the identity?

And when i address in 'you' consider it synonym to 'Indian - Indians'. So keep that in mind please

of-course, baby steps.

Let's make it simple - An Indian is one who keeps his/her country ahead of his/her religion. That would sound absurd to you. But those muslims who were Indian, chose to live in India. All those who didn't chose pakistan.

 

[Panzerkampf]

of-course, baby steps.

Yes baby steps are needed for the fourth Reich.
