Tauqeer Raza is NOT a scholar: nor does him being from the family of the Mujaddid, automatically make him a "leader" of the ahleSunnah. may Allah, the Supreme, guide him.
Tauqeer Raza is a politician, who recently floated a minority party. He is a pawn in the hand of bigger political parties. So his actions are not surprising.
