Congress can't be trusted, says Shahi Imam's brother about Sonia meeting

In an exclusive chat with Firstpost, Yahya Bukhari blasted Sonia Gandhi’s appeal to the Imam and was highly critical of his own brother, the Shahi Imam, for having gone to the Congress president’s doorsteps offering promises to a party which has only betrayed the trust reposed by Muslims.
