His son was lynched in the violence

The Imam of Asansol, who lost his son about a week back, has put the leaders of the Bharatiya Janata party on the back foot by delivering a three-line message of peace. The message was so strong, following the lynching of his son, State BJP president Dilip Ghosh said on Sunday that Imam Mohammed Imdadullah’s “actions are praiseworthy.”

“He has set an example by calming down the crowd and controlling emotions. Even after the death of his son he ensured that the situation did not go out of control,” Mr. Ghosh told The Hindu.

Even an official of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in Asansol spoke on similar lines, albeit with a caveat.
