Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi refused to put on a skull cap offered by a Muslim cleric during his Sadbhavana' fast in Ahmedabad. Sayed Imam Shahi Saiyed, a cleric of a small dargah in Pirana village on the outskirts of the city, had yesterday gone up to the stage to greet the CM at the Gujarat University
Convention hall .
He offered Modi a skull cap, but Modi politely refused to wear it, asking him to offer a shawl instead. The imam did so, and Modi was seen accepting it.
"Modi's refusal to accept the cap is not my insult but an insult of Islam," Saiyed said.
