Religious leaders ask Muslims to boycott both BJP, Congress

Accusing Congress of treating Muslims as “servants”, he said, “We appeal to Muslims to vote for secular candidates and boycott Congress.”

Calling upon Muslims to unite against Congress, Maulana Bukhari said he also boycotts the support extended by Shahi Imam of Delhi's Jama Masjid, his elder brother in favour of Congress and said “he would expose in three days the details of the pact between them (the Congress and the Shahi Imam)”.  

He termed as an eyewash Rahul Gandhi's visit to Muzaffarnagar after the riots and said “he did not ensure any help from the Centre.”

Holding the Congress “equally responsible” for the riots with Samajwadi Party, Bukhari said “they had their government at the Centre and had they wanted, they could have checked it.”

He further added that there were certain things in the Congress manifesto which were against Islam.
