In February 1946, the extremists in the party led by Abdur Rahman Rais staged a violent protest over the reconstruction of a mosque, burning down the house of the prime minister [[Muhammad Ahmad Said Khan Chhatari|Nawab of Chhatari]] and Sir [[Wilfrid Grigson]], the minister for revenue and police. The incident led to the resignation of the leader of the ''Ittehad''. In the ensuing contest for the new president, Kasim Razvi defeated Rais to emerge as the leader of the ''Ittehad''.

From this point on, Razvi called the shots in Hyderabad politics.{{sfn|Benichou, From Autocracy to Integration|2000|loc=Chapter 5}} | In February 1946, the extremists in the party led by Abdur Rahman Rais staged a violent protest over the reconstruction of a mosque, burning down the house of the prime minister [[Muhammad Ahmad Said Khan Chhatari|Nawab of Chhatari]] and Sir [[Wilfrid Grigson]], the minister for revenue and police.
