The Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid, <b>Ahmad Bukhari on Friday used the tragedy, which struck Jama Masjid, to settle a few scores with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav.</b>
Addressing namazis (devotees) soon after the blast, Shahi Imam Ahmed Bukhari spewed venom on Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and the Centre for such a big incident inside the holy 17th Century mosque.
<b>Bukhari condemned the action of the STF (Special Task Force) of the UP Police, which arrested Waliullah, pesh Imam of Phulpur in Allahabad, for his alleged involvement in the bomb blasts at Sankat Mochan temple and Cantonment in Varanasi on March 7 this year. He said, "Mulayam Singh Yadav has intentionally done it and has insulted the whole Muslim community. He himself is a terrorist and is <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>blaming us."</b> </span>
Calling the Friday's incident at Jama Masjid "a shameful act" done by some people, Bukhari said, "We will not take it easy and a strict action would be taken against this. At the moment we need to maintain peace and the Government needs to punish the culprits soon".
Terming the twin bomb blasts at the historic Jama Masjid a desperate attempt by divisive forces to disturb communal harmony in the country, the Imam asked people not to allow terrorists to succeed in their nafarious design.
"First, there was an attack at the Sankat Mochan Temple in Varanasi. Arrests were made in connection with the blasts. But the real culprits, who want to create hatred between Hindus and Muslims, are still roaming around freely and they have carried out the blasts in the mosque," Bukhari added.

Here comes Bukhari's real color.
Why he thinks "blaming us"? Imam or preachers are behind?
Interesting time ahead.
