In May 2013 Raza Khan was appointed as the vice-chairman of the Handloom Corporation on the condition that the Samajwadi Party would reconsider their candidates fielded in [[Moradabad]] and [[Bareilly]] for the 2014 Indian general election. He also demanded that a committee be created to investigate the causes of the communal riots that took place in the state during the tenure of chief minister [[Akhilesh Yadav]]. He also made clear that his party had not merged with the Samajwadi Party.<ref>{{cite web|title=Barelvi cleric elevated,wants SP to review candidates|date=28 May 2013|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/lucknow/barelvi-cleric-elevated-wants-sp-to-review-candidates/|publisher=Indian Express|accessdate=25 August 2017|archive-date=25 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170825142929/http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/lucknow/barelvi-cleric-elevated-wants-sp-to-review-candidates/|url-status=live}}</ref> However, in September 2014 he resigned from his post following the [[2013 Muzaffarnagar riots|Muzaffarnagar riots]].

If the Chief Minister had the ability and experience to run the administration, the situation in [[Muzaffarnagar]] would not have been so critical.<ref name="riots"/>}}
In November 2013, Raza Khan was visited by [[Delhi]] chief minister [[Arvind Kejriwal]], who said that the man next to him was a "respectable person in the town". Kejriwal also refused to accept that by virtue of this meeting he was appeasing the Muslims. Raza Khan said that he liked Kejriwal for his [[India Against Corruption]] movement.<ref>{{cite news|title=Arvind Kejriwal courts controversy over meeting Muslim cleric Maulana Tauqeer Rana|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/arvind-kejriwal-courts-controversy-over-meeting-muslim-cleric-maulana-tauqeer-rana/articleshow/25273180.cms|newspaper=Economic Times|accessdate=26 August 2017|archive-date=28 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170828164659/http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/arvind-kejriwal-courts-controversy-over-meeting-muslim-cleric-maulana-tauqeer-rana/articleshow/25273180.cms|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Religious career ===
The [[All India Muslim Personal Law Board]] is a non-governmental organisation for personal laws of the Muslims in India. Alleging discrimination, the [[Shia Muslims]] formed a parallel [[All India Shia Personal Law Board]]. In February 2005 Raza Khan formed his own [[All India Muslim Personal Law Board (Jadeed)]] ("Modern") for the Barelvi Muslims after alleging discrimination from the [[Deobandi]] members of the Law Board.<ref name="TTT"/> He said:{{quote|AIMPLB has lost all credibility as its two main components have separated.

In May 2016 Raza Khan visited [[Deoband]], the city from which a rival sect [[Deobandi]] originated, to meet the family of a boy who had been arrested on accusations of being involved in terrorism. He also visited the [[Darul Uloom Deoband]] seminary and spoke to Deobandi religious scholars. ''[[The Milli Gazette]]'' wrote that it was a move towards unity among Muslims.<ref>{{cite web |title=Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan visits Darul Uloom Deoband |url=http://www.milligazette.com/news/14280-maulana-tauqeer-raza-khan-visits-darul-uloom-deoband |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170821002943/http://www.milligazette.com/news/14280-maulana-tauqeer-raza-khan-visits-darul-uloom-deoband |archive-date=21 August 2017 |accessdate=20 August 2017 |publisher=The Milli Gazette}}</ref> He said that though the Deobandis and Barelvis differed on theological issues, they should remain united while facing issues affecting the Islamic community. He also said that there was a need to fight the "common enemy". The ''Times of India'' wrote that the clerics from the rival sects had met, noting that it was a rare event for a cleric to visit the other's seminary.<ref>{{cite web|title=Deoband, Barelvi clerics meet, talk unity against 'common enemy'|date=10 May 2016|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/deoband-barelvi-clerics-meet-talk-unity-against-common-enemy-2792503/|publisher=Indian Express|accessdate=20 August 2017|archive-date=21 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170821002603/http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/deoband-barelvi-clerics-meet-talk-unity-against-common-enemy-2792503/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The ''Times of India'' wrote that Raza Khan's visit to Deoband "stirred a sectarian storm" among the religious scholars of the Barelvi sect. His brother, [[Subhan Raza Khan]], warned that he would face a boycott if he failed to apologise publicly. He said that he would do the same only if a {{Transliteration|ar|[[fatwa]]}} (Islamic legal ruling) was issued by a [[mufti]] condemning his visit. A panel of 12 muftis was formed by the officials of the [[Dargah-e-Ala Hazrat|shrine of Ahmad Raza Khan]] who were given the responsibility to investigate the discussion that took place between Tawqir Raza Khan and the Deobandi scholars based on media files uploaded on social media.<ref name="probe">{{cite news|title=Panel of muftis to probe charges against Tauqeer Raza after Deoband meet|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bareilly/Panel-of-muftis-to-probe-charges-against-Tauqeer-Raza-after-Deoband-meet/articleshow/52273236.cms|newspaper=Times of India|date=14 May 2016 |access-date=20 August 2017|archive-date=9 February 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240209160557/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bareilly/Panel-of-muftis-to-probe-charges-against-Tauqeer-Raza-after-Deoband-meet/articleshow/52273236.cms|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=देवबंद जाने पर मौलाना तौकीर की तौबा|url=https://www.jagran.com/uttar-pradesh/bareilly-city-14036202.html|publisher=Jagran|access-date=26 August 2017|archive-date=26 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170826113824/http://www.jagran.com/uttar-pradesh/bareilly-city-14036202.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Taslima Nasrin issue ===
Raza Khan became controversial when he spoke about [[Taslima Nasrin]], a [[Bangladeshi]] anti-Islamic author. In 2007 Raza Khan had announced a reward of Rs5{{nbsp}}lakh on the author's head if the Indian government did not restrict her entry to [[India]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ibnlive.com/news/india/i-only-spoke-the-truth-taslima-nasreen-on-fir-against-tweets-654466.html|title=News, Breaking News, Latest News, News Headlines, Live News, Today News CNN-News18|access-date=24 July 2015|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304071608/http://www.ibnlive.com/news/india/i-only-spoke-the-truth-taslima-nasreen-on-fir-against-tweets-654466.html|url-status=live}}</ref> According to a report, Khan had said, "the only way a fatwa against Taslima Nasreen, whose writings clerics denounced as anti-Islam, could be withdrawn was if she burnt her books and left India."<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-the-charges-levelled-against-tauqeer-raza-regarding-issue-of-fatwa-against-taslima-nasreen-are-wrong-arvind-kejriwal-1914198 |title=The charges levelled against Tauqeer Raza regarding issue of fatwa against Taslima Nasreen are wrong: Arvind Kejriwal |access-date=24 July 2015 |archive-date=20 October 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151020003514/http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-the-charges-levelled-against-tauqeer-raza-regarding-issue-of-fatwa-against-taslima-nasreen-are-wrong-arvind-kejriwal-1914198 |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== 2010 arrest ===
In 2010 Raza Khan was arrested in connection to a riot between Hindus and Muslims that broke out in the city of [[Bareilly]]. While the Muslims demanded his release, the Hindus protested against it. In a joint statement, the Muslim Students Organisation and the Barkati Educational Trust said that he was arrested on the basis of a fake complaint and claimed that, if he was not released, the city might not return to normalcy. Even though he was released, ''[[Outlook (Indian magazine)|Outlook India]]'' wrote that it had led to [[Polarization (politics)|polarisation]] among Hindus and Muslims on religious lines.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bareilly Burns Amid Barelwi Triumph|date=15 March 2010 |url=https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/bareilly-burns-amid-barelwi-triumph/264697|publisher=Outlook India|accessdate=22 August 2017|archive-date=22 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170822133708/https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/bareilly-burns-amid-barelwi-triumph/264697|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Release Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan: Muslim bodies|date=9 March 2010|url=http://twocircles.net/2010mar09/release_maulana_tauqeer_raza_khan_muslim_bodies.html|publisher=Two Circles|accessdate=22 August 2017|archive-date=22 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170822112729/http://twocircles.net/2010mar09/release_maulana_tauqeer_raza_khan_muslim_bodies.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

In March 2024, A session court declared that Tawqir Raza Khan was the mastermind of the 2010 riots.

He also warned that Muslims would interfere in the matters of Hindus if the Hindus interfered in the matters of Muslims. He made these comments in response to the debate of implementing a uniform civil code in the country and banning the [[Triple Talaq in India|Islamic instant divorce]].<ref>{{cite web|title=मौलाना तौकीर ने उगला जहर-हिंदू महिलाओं के होते हैं 5 शौहर, बच्चों के बाप का नाम पता नहीं होता|url=http://www.hindi.indiasamvad.co.in/specialstories/maulana-tauqeer-controversial-speech-on-3-divorce-17150|publisher=India samvad|accessdate=26 August 2017|archive-date=26 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170826122259/http://www.hindi.indiasamvad.co.in/specialstories/maulana-tauqeer-controversial-speech-on-3-divorce-17150|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=मौलाना तौकीर रजा ने कहा- हिन्‍दू महिलाओं के होते हैं पांच पति, पता नहीं बच्‍चे का बाप कौन|url=https://www.bhaskar.com:443/news/UP-LUCK-controversial-speech-by-tauqeer-raza-on-hindu-womens-news-hindi-5441186-NOR.html?seq=0|publisher=Bhaskar|access-date=26 August 2017|archive-date=30 January 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230130113111/https://www.bhaskar.com/news/UP-LUCK-controversial-speech-by-tauqeer-raza-on-hindu-womens-news-hindi-5441186-NOR.html?seq=0|url-status=live}}</ref>
