Lucknow: He is fast becoming Salman Rushdie of India. Not for writing controversial books but for his alleged unislamic acts and utterances in the media. Waseem Rizvi, the former Chairman of UP Central Shia Waqf Board, is under fire from Muslims all over the country for filing a petition in the Supreme Court pleading to remove 26 verses from the holy book Quran.
Enraged over his unislamic demand, Muslims in Lucknow took to streets outside Bara Imambara in protest against Rizviâs act of approaching the Supreme Court against their Holy book Quran.
