Srinagar: Muttaheda Majlis-e-Ulema (MMU), an amalgam of religious clerics, today issued a decree declaring fake faith healer Gulzar Bhat as an imposter. Bhat is in jail for sexually exploiting scores of his female students at his Shamsabad seminary.
Twenty nine Muslim clerics including Mirwaiz Molvi Mohammad Umar Farooq, in a press release to media, said Gulzar was an impostor and a swindler who had brought disrepute to Islam by amending not only the verses of Quran but also invented his own ways to propagate the religion.
MMU said Gulzar Bhat not only misled the people by fudging his name but he also added new principles that suited him. This fake dervish used to translate the quotes of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in his own way, and for his petty interests, he even used to translate the Quranic verses in a wrong manner. He is a liar and a slur on the fair name of our religion and thus is being declared as astray, the statement said.
Religious clerics of MMU have said that whatever Gulzar Bhat used to teach contravenes the Quran. “His acts are outrageous and shameful. This crook has tampered with the scriptures and ways of prayer devising his own satanic methods.
The decree has criticized the role of his followers who raised undesirable slogans like Syedi Murshudi Ya Nabi Ya Nabi in his presence and thus elevating his position as a great seer.
