BJP leader recites ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ at a mosque in U.P.’s Baghpat

Maulana who gave permission for reciting Hanuman Chalisa had also opposed the action taken against the BJP worker. Such Maulanas are needed in the country today. Will the so-called progressives and secularists support the Maulana and protest against his dismissal from the mosque ?
