baralewis are known to be collaboraters of imperial forces since the time of ahmad raza barelwi. any barelwi action or assocciation of this kind would always seem dubious and demand scrutiny. as opposed to that scholars of deoband are known to uphold truth and have always remained above board inshallah, whether it was imperial powers, indian government, government of pervaiz musharraf or benazir bhutto. there assocciation with authorities as in the case above would not raise eye brows as it would be for "barelwis".
