Pir Karam Shah declared a Kaafir

A well-known Barelwi scholar Pir Karam Shah was declared a kaafir by the likes of Akhtar Raza Khan, the grandmufti of the Barelwis in India, simply for not agreeing with the takfir of the Deobandis.

The Barelwis published a book on this topic called: tanqidi ja’iza published by Anjuman Fikre Raza Pakistan. See for the original scans: http://razakhanimazhab.com/home/2011-03-28-21-51-33/2011-03-28-21-52-29/507-2011-08-17-06-45-50
