Statements and views

Definitely recite the Ala Hazrat Salaam in Ajmer

President of Dargah Ustad-e-Zaman Trust, Maulana Qadri has expressed his displeasure over Ajmer's Khadim Sarwar Chishti stopping Barelvi Ulema from giving speeches and saluting, distributing literature. Every Sunni Barelvi Muslim has immense respect for Mu'in al-Din Chishti. Maulana Qadri said that on 27 January 2023 all of us will go to Ajmer.

After reaching the Ajmer Sharif Dargah will present the Nazrana of Salat-o-Salam with Adab and Ahtram (respect). Maulana Qadri said that Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Fazile Barelvi has taken the education and message of Hazrat Khwaja Garib Nawaz to the masses. For decades, Sunni Barelvi Ulema and Akidtmand read Naat and Mankabat and Kalam of Ala Hazrat in the Dargah premises of Ajmer. Dargah is not anyone's property.[7][8]

Demanding an apology from Swedish government

On 21 January 2023, Rasmus Paludan was permitted by Swedish police to organise a demonstration in front of the Turkish embassy in Stockholm and set fire to the Quran with a lighter, Maulana Kaif Said:

"We strongly condemn the desecration of Quran-e-Pak and burning of Quran in Sweden.This act of Sweden has hurt the faith of Muslims all over the world and the Muslims are angry against Sweden. We strongly condemn this act of the Swedish government. Our country India is a secular nation which respects all religions, so we demand from you that this act of Swedish government should be strongly condemned on behalf of India. Pressure should be made on the Swedish government to apologize to the Swedish government for allowing the burning of the Quran. On behalf of India, pressure should be made on the Swedish government to punish Rasmus Paludan, a Swedish citizen who burnt the Holy Quran."[9]

Demand to expel Salman Hasan from Jamaat Raza-e-Mustafa

On 29 January 2023, Asjad Raza Khan son-in-law Salman Hasan met Ajmer Dargah Khadim Syed Sarwar Chishti, Maulana Kaif Said:

"What was the need for Salman Hasan to meet Sarwar Chishti? Who gave them this permission? He said that shortly before this meeting, Khadims had beaten up the Barelvis in Garib Nawaz's Urs on Saturday late night. Salman Hasan met the same Khadims and also invites them to come to Bareilly Sharif, how can this be understood. Maulana Kaif also said that when Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan works for Ittehad, fingers are pointed at him. And why is there silence on the issue of Salman Hasan."[10][11]

Activism

On 18 April 2023, Maulana Kaif Raza has announced to support the strike announced by Ittehad-e-Millat Council (IMC) chief Tauqeer Raza Khan. Maulana Kaif appealed to the people to participate in the strike. He also said:

The condition of the country and state is not hidden from anyone. In such a situation, to protect the constitution, the protest proposed by Tauqeer Miyan will be held at Islamia Maidan Bareilly on April 19, within the ambit of the constitution. Against the oppression of muslims in India if peace-loving citizens do not come forward in time, dictatorship will be established in our country".[12][13][14][15][16][17]

On 19 April 2023, Ittehad-e-Millat Council (IMC) chief Tauqeer Raza Khan and his supporters were not permitted to hold a sit-in at Islamia Maidan Bareilly on Wednesday to protest.

Maulana Kaif Raza,, termed the denial of permission to protest as a symbol of dictatorship. He supported Tauqeer Raza Khan for the proposed strike on issues like deteriorating law and order situation in the state Uttar Pradesh, India, fake encounters and killings in police custody.[18]

Controversies

On Jan 2023, Salman Hasan, the vice-president of Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa and son-in-law of Asjad Miyan, accused Maulana Kaif Raza and said, He does not know any Maulana Kaif Raza. With what relation has Maulana Kaif called himself Asjad Miyan's nephew, this is also beyond understanding.

After the statement of Salman Hasan, Maulana Kaif Raza released his genealogy and gave a befitting reply to Salman Hasan and said "Salman Hasan has no identity of his own, he is just the son-in-law of Asjad Mian. In order to gain publicity, Salman Haasan goes on doing irresponsible things".

On the other hand, the family members of Ala Hazrat strongly condemned Salman Hasan. Maulana Tauqeer Raza, National President of Ittehad-e-Millat Council issued a letter revealing Maulana Kaif Raza's relation with Ala Hazrat. And also condemned this allegation of Salman Hassan.[19][20][21]
