His Youtube Channelhas 1.48M+ subscribers. He also worked in Bollywood-Zone records in 2011 and received major airplay with his debut single named No Clue. He is best known for his songs in the urban desi genre. Several leaders, both from the BJP and even the Congress called his actions ‘unnecessary’ and done to “boost his own politics.KAMAL RAJA is a famous Rapper and Singer from the Netherland. Like in November 2020 when he organised a massive protest rally at Bhopal’s Iqbal Maidan to protest French President Emmanuel Macron’s remarks on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo’s cartoon row. However, his political style has also been criticised by many. The down-trodden have always been his focus and he has enjoyed their support,” said Suresh Pachouri, former state Congress president.
“An analysis of the 2018 results showed that people from all wards of his constituency, irrespective of their religion, had voted him in. With Akeel’s health deteriorating owing to his old age, Masood has emerged as the only prominent voice of the minorities in the state. But the five-time MLA defeated Fatima with 35,000 votes. That year the party gave a ticket to Rasool Siddiqui’s daughter, Fatima Siddiqui to contest against Akeel from Bhopal North. Until 2018, the BJP had never fielded any Muslim candidate in the state. With Masood victory, for the first time since the demolition of the Babri mosque in 1992, the 230-seat Madhya Pradesh Assembly has two Muslim MLAs: Arif Akeel and Arif Masood, both from the Congress. This is why Hindu voters who were even slightly upset with the BJP voted for him,” said a BJP leader, who did not wish to be named. “After losing in 2013, Masood remained among the voters and fought for their rights. Later, he held iftar parties, Holi samaroh and Diwali milan functions for people of his constituency. “It is a victory for Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb,” Masood had said after winning the election. His strategy worked and despite a sizable Hindu population in his constituency, Masood won with a margin of over 15,000 votes. While the BJP called him a Muslim hardliner, Masood paired his skull cap with a tilak on his forehead and visited the Hanuman temple during his campaign.
In 2018, he once again got a ticket to contest from Bhopal Central. In 2016, when the BJP launched a campaign against triple talaq (and made a law against it in 2019), he held several rallies against it, even as Muslim law-makers within the Congress refrained from making public statements on the subject. Three years later, he got a ticket from Bhopal Central but lost to the BJP’s Surendra Nath Singh by a small margin. In 2007, he was brought back into the Congress fold by then state president Subhas Yadav, and was made spokesperson and then convenor of the party’s minority cell. Later, he also joined the All-India Milli Council and then became an executive member of the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB). He contested on an SP ticket in 2003 against the Congress’s Arif Akeel from Bhopal North, but lost. He went on to join the Samajwadi Party and remained committed to raising “Muslim issues”. The incident left the Digvijaya Singh government red-faced and Masood was expelled from the Congress for six years.
In June 2001, as district president of the youth Congress, he became a well-known name in Madhya Pradesh after attacking a movie theater in Bhopal’s Jehangirabad to oppose the screening of the film Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, which he said projected Islam in poor light.
