He was requested by senior ulema like Hafiz Abdul Sattar Saeedi to take his words back because of the public reaction, especially how the word 'khata' is understood by the public.
with due respect to mawlana sahib, this is counter productive. the awaam needs to be shown their place; it is not about placating your ignorant emotions - it is about haqq. ulama should never stop speaking the truth because jahil awam is incited by shayateen and their agents.
tell them point blank: 'you shut up and listen. it is not your place to tell us what is right or not. if you don't understand the meaning of khata, then do what you are worthy of doing - else, come and learn and then give us your informed opinion.'

though we have our criticism of jalali sb on other issues and am not very impressed by his superficial approach - he is right in this issue. if you let this go the tafzilis and their backers among rawafid would not be uncovered. this khata issue simply ripped the veils of all the closet tafzili and rawafid sitting in our ranks.
if imam azam could use 'khata' for anbiya, using it for anyone else is neither kufr nor heresy. whether it is appropriate or not, is another issue - but the sharayi hukm remains as what we have said.
the height of shamelessness of the tafzili tola is that insults irfan shah and his brother spewed - or riaz shah and other assorted heretics have been saying is not even on the table to discuss! only jalali sb's khata...

i don't know if mufti rashid sb made videos against irfan shah and riaz shah and other shiah.
the biggest embarrassment and fall from grace is irfan shah, and that too as we say: qabr mein tang latka kay. laa Hawla wa la quwwata illa billah. poor old man, how will he face his noble father and his mother? unka bhi khayal nahin kiya?
nas'alu Allah al-aafiyah.
