Several social media users had raised their objection and had sought clarification from Inayathullah on his stand over his party’s decision to form alliance with the BJP. It had also to do with the post of President of socio-religious organization of Bhatkal, Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem that he holds, that had mounted pressure on him to issue a clarification.
