Bhopal: Member of the All India Muslim
Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) Maulana Syed Kalbe Sadiq compared
Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray with Pakistan founder Mohammed
Ali Jinnah saying Thackeray was promoting separatist ideas
like Jinnah.
Kalbe Sadiq, who is also the General Secretary of the
All-India Shia Ulema-e-Hind, told reporters here last evening
that as Jinnah had laid the foundation of country's partition,
Thackeray was also promoting separatist forces.
He claimed that there were many ways in which lot of
similarities could be found between Jinnah and Thackeray.
The AIPMLB member refused to comment on row created by
Shiv Sena over Shah Rukh Khan's film "My Name Is Khan" and
said that everyone should abide by the country's constitution.
He suggested that a high-level commission should be set
up for impartial probe into sensitive issues and said that it
should comprise highly educated non-government members.
