Why no politicians this Idul-fter?

The one and only free public forum for Bohras. The focus of this forum is the reform movement, the Dawoodi Bohra faith and, of course, the corrupt priesthood. But the discussion is in no way restricted to the Bohras alone.

Why no politicians this Idul-fter?

I have gone through current magazines and other propaganda material from Kothar and was surprise to note that this year our beloved Sayedna Saheb celebrated a function like Idul-fiter without inviting any politicians and other social luminaries.
Is it that after his meeting with Modi politicians are keeping a distance with him?
Or because all the politicians like Bhujbal, Shushil Kumar Shindhe and former Police Commissioner of Bombay, Sharma are in trouble after seeking his blessings?
On 11th Oct.03 the President, Dr. Abdul Kalam came to Surat to address the meeting of religious heads. Sayedna Saheb specially waited for him in Surat and made efforts to call on him , but he refused to meet him saying that "I do not want to meet any controversial person".
On 1st October there was a inaugural function of new airport in Surat and a Textile exhibition on 2nd Oct. The Aviation Minister, Shanaz Khan and Jaswant Singh came to Surat. One son of Sayedna with some prominent Jamaat members went to them insisted that they should meet Sayedna Saheb but they refused the offer.
Why this sudden change?

It's just that due to the efforts of the reformist camp whatever sayedna does to glorify his image comes to light to the politicians as well as the general masses. The politicains are freinds of no one. They live only for themselves in just the same way sayedna does. So it finally means that ek chor doosre chor ke peeche nahin bhagta. To save ones skin a robber always keeps away from another robber so that he does not fall into trouble. And the other main thing is that the politicains are keeping this year's lok sabha and assembly elections in mind. They do not want to hurt their vote banks by falling into unwanted controversies.

I agree.
