Congress, Shiv Sena UBT Deny Role in ‘Fatwa’ Politics

Deccan Chronicle  

Mumbai: The alleged fatwas being issued from mosques in favour of Congress, Shiv Sena, and NCP candidates for Lok Sabha have snowballed into a major election issue ahead of polling for 11 seats in Maharashtra. Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray said that the days of fatwas have gone. Taking a dig at the MNS chief’s fatwa, Shiv Sena national spokesperson Anand Dubey said that he did not understand how the Hindus issue a fatwa, as it is issued by Maulanas in mosques. However, former Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma, who is the BJP's in-charge for Maharashtra, said that Fatwas are being issued in Maharashtra from the mosques through Maulanas.
