After his video came to light, the matter gained such prominence that discussions became heated from political circles to the Maulanas, and a fatwa was issued against the SP candidate. All India Muslim Jamaat national president Maulana Mufti Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi issued a fatwa on Naseem and said he should repent.
