A. M. Khan is a man of honour and integrity – something that is rare in today’s political circles. No wonder he is respected across the political spectrum.
He represents the modern Indian Muslim – one who is not afraid of the diktats of the regressive Islamic clergy. He never cared about the fatwas and other forms of violence and oppression used by the fundamentalist Islamic clergy in India. He was attacked and seriously wounded by Islamic radicals and fanatics several times and, by his Allah’s grace, he survived. But he never bowed before these regressive elements and always stood up for what he believed to be in the best interest of his community.. He has been the most forceful proponent for modernisation and incorporation of progressive ideals and ethos in Indian Muslim societies.
