Fatwa against Muslim minister for chanting 'Jai Shri Ram'
A fatwa directing termination of his marriage was issued against JD(U) minister Khurshid Ahmad for chanting 'Jai Shri Ram' outside the Bihar Assembly after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar won the trust vote. The minister initially stood by his actions and said, "Islam teaches respect for all religions." He later apologised for his actions after a meeting with Nitish Kumar.
