\u201cIt\u2019s my duty to be devoted to the faith I was born into and I make it a point not to skip the Eid namaz. My faith in the almighty was always hundred per cent. That\u2019s the way it shall be. I got married the traditional way. It was a nikah.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nHow does the party deal with it?<\/p>\n
State secretary Biman Bose made his disapproval clear. But Mollah said he told his party boss: \u201cIf you insist, I\u2019ll not go. But everyone knows I\u2019m going. If I drop out, people will ask questions. I\u2019ll tell them I abided by your instructions.\u201d Bose understood the implications and asked Mollah to submit an\u00a0application\u00a0to the party secretariat, which was approved. The request letter didn\u2019t mention the word Haj. It merely said Mollah wanted to go on a trip to Mecca.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I was wondering if a Hindu CPM guy wanted to do this?\u00a0 What would happen.<\/p>\n
Years ago, another party senior, Late Benoy Chowdhury, had fetched up at Tirupati with his newlywed. The couple had apparently been seen near the shrine. A furious party had sought an explanation.<\/p>\n
He was just seen in the general area, not even professed his love and faith in Hinduism.<\/p>\n
