BJP leader Yatnal, family of Sayed Tanveer Hashmi are business partners: Report
MLA Yatnal recently accused Hashmi of having links with ISIS, other terror outfits
Kalaburagi: A report published in Prajavani on Friday has stated BJP MLA Basanagowda Patil Yatnala and family Sufi leader Sayed Tanveer Hashmi, popularly known as Tanveer Peera are business partners. This revelation comes amidst accusations by MLA Yatnal against Tanveer Hashmi of having links with ISIS and other terrorist organizations.
According to the report, both are reportedly partners in the 'Tourist Hotel' located near Gandhi Chowk in the city. The houses and commercial shops of the two families are also situated next to each other near the Vijayapura-Kalaburagi National Highway in Mahal Ainapur village in the outskirts of the city.
The issue has sparked controversy, and KPCC spokesperson S.M. Patil Ganihar, addressing a press conference, questioned the moral right of MLA Yatnal to accuse Tanveer Hashmi when their families are involved in a business venture together. Ganihar urged Yatnal to either substantiate the charges or resign from his position as an MLA. He also called on the state government to take action against Yatnal.
Reacting to the reports, Karnataka Rakshana Vedike District Unit President M.C. Mulla said “Yatnal was very close with Hashmi. I have met Tanveer Hashmi and Yatnal at our house during the election. We all had lunch together. Both of them have shared stages on various occasions,” he said.
Adding to the debate, Ahinda leader Somnath Kallimani accused Yatnala of spreading hatred by linking Tanveer Hashmi to ISIS based on Hashmi's political affiliations during the recent assembly elections.
“Yatnal is spreading hatred by posting pictures from Hashmi's Facebook asserting that he has links with ISIS just because Hashmi was in favor of the Congress candidate in the recently held assembly elections,” Somnath said.
Tanveer Hashmi, belonging to the Hussiani Hashmi Family, is a patron of various academic, social, and religious activities of Sufi Sunni Muslims in India. Recently appointed as the President of Jamaat E Ahle Sunnat, Karnataka, he also leads the Al Hashmi Educational Welfare & Charitable Trust, providing Islamic and formal education. Hashmi is the President of the Muslim Muttahida Council (MMC), a consortium of Muslim organizations, and a member of the Muslim Personal Law Board.
