Slogans in favour of don-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad were raised near Patna Junction outside Jama Masjid on April 21. The mosque committee distanced itself from the incident. Mosque committee president Maulana Faisal Imam said Atiq's issue was related to UP. He said, "It is related to UP and let the UP government see to it. Our CM is Nitish Kumar and law and order under him is the best."
