(Not) Maulana Wahiddudin Khan was a sarkari maulana who threw Muslims under the bus in order to appease the Indian State. He was given the highest civilian award for the same.
A thread on his interview to wire.

4.35 Q: You have written that Indian Muslims are not praying any positive role. Do you still hold that view?
Khan: Yes.

6.10 Q: Various studies show that there is systematic bias against Muslims and other minorities in India.
Khan: It is completely false. Look at Abdul kalam.

10.30 Q: What do you think about Modi?
Khan: His focus is on the national development, sabka saath sabka Vikaas. He isn’t Anti-Muslim or pro-hindutva. I think he is on the right track.

11.22 Q: What the visible discrimination? Look at the news.
Khan: Government policies are +

aren’t discriminatory. I don’t take the news seriously.

18.10 Q: Should we forget the fasaad around the Babri masjid demolition?
Khan: The fasaad is always bilateral.
Q: What about Zulm in Gujarat?
Khan: It was retaliation not zulm.

Q: What about 1984 and the violence on the Sikh community ?
Khan: That is also a retaliation.

This is beyond being a sarkari Muslim. Anyone who thinks of him as an Islamic scholar or a peace activist needs to get himself checked in the head. He didn’t have a different

interpretation of deen. He was a genocide enabler and an apologist. He was working for BJP and RSS and hiding behind spirituality and Islam. He won’t have any awards and honours of government of India on the day of judgement. Alhamdullilah for that.
