New Delhi: An Imam, Qari Asim, was dismissed Saturday from his role as independent advisor on Islamophobia to the UK government for endorsing the campaign to ban the film titled The Lady of Heaven, which attempts to tell the story of Prophet Muhammad’s daughter, reported the BBC.

Qari Asim was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2012 for building “community harmony” in Leeds, the report said.
