Sambhal MP strikes a new controversy, calls Ghazi a Sufi saint

Amid ongoing controversy over Neja Mela, Sambhal MP Zia Ur Rehman Barq stated that Syed Salar Masood Ghazi was a revered Sufi saint and linking him to the Somnath temple attack is entirely incorrect. Sambhal MP Zia Ur Rehman Barq Expressing concern over the statement of a Sambhal police officer, Barq questioned how individuals who have sworn to uphold the Constitution can make comments that undermine religious beliefs. Barq further highlighted that Salar Masood Ghazi was a revered Sufi saint of the 12th century, and his legacy continues to be honoured through Neja melas held at various locations. Samajwadi Party MLA from Sambhal Iqbal Mahmood said that the Neja Mela was held in Sambhal even when Rajnath Singh and Kalyan Singh were the chief ministers of the state.
