Somnath – Ghaznavi video row: Cleric tenders apology in fresh video

Gandhinagar: Panipat, Haryana based cleric Muhammad Irfan Rasheed has tendered apology “from depth of heart” in a fresh video released today. He said, his talk in May 2019 video was manipulated by media. He said he was just narrating history in the video clip. He said he had visited Somnath (Prabhas Patan) just as a tourist/traveler. Cleric’s video had recently gone viral as he in that video hailed Mahmud Ghazanvi, an invader who had looted and destroyed Somnath temple, and linked it to glory of Islam. On the basis of a complain note submitted by the general manager of Shri Somnath Trust, local Police in Prabhas Patan has lodged FIR over controversial video clip of Rasheed.
