Controversial Kolkata cleric Noor-ur-Rehman Barkati said on Friday he will remove the red beacon atop his car if Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other minister scrapped their security arrangements. The imam reiterated that chief minister Mamata Banerjee didn’t ask him to take the beacon off. On January 8, a complaint was lodged against the controversial cleric demanding his arrest after he slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and issued a fatwa against the BJP leader. We know how to fight,” Barkati said. Barkati is better known as the ‘fatwa imam’ for issuing fatwas against personalities ranging from Taslima Nasreen to Narendra Modi.
