United Muslim of AP convener Moulana Mohammed Altaf Ali Raza said that khajis are respectable people and if the government appoints them as they wish the sanctity of the religion will be at stake as there are many religious customs and traditions.
If the government was appointing khajis to perform marriage then they should be appointed as Nayab Khajis, he said and alleged that the newly appointed Khajis were performing child marriages and illegal marriages.
