The cleric's comment comes at a time when all political parties are aggressively trying to woo Muslims for their 28 per cent minority votes, which is a deciding factor for 28-30 seats of the 42 Lok Sabha seats in the state.
Barkati lashed out at Modi for seeking the votes of the Muslim community.
“Why is he asking for the votes of Muslims, when he has a problem in wearing the Muslim cap.
He should be ashamed about asking for our votes. He is an opportunist,” he charged.
