Ramaswami: Shahi Imam of Tipu Sultan Mosque Maulana Nurur Rehman Barkati is not only a religious pervert but also a power hungry political scoundrel as well as political bastard. These type of touts of political corridors are responsible for the rise of both Hindu and Muslim fundamentalists. If Barkati is kept in a piggery for 6 months, his fat of audacity will automatically melt down soon. That is the only treatment for this idiot. Barkati who has lamentably emerged over the years as the chief political adviser and guru of Mamata Banerjee, needs to be stripped of his Imam-hood and subjected to a thorough examination - of his cerebral capacities. In fact, Barkati symbolises the degeneration that is gradually setting into Bengal’s polity under CM Mamata Banerjee.
