This "maulana" is actually a creation of TV news channels like Republic & Zee News. He's a regular panellist on these channels, brought on to talk about everything under the sun as some sort of a spokesperson for Muslims and Islam. He's not.
The trick is simple. Bring on a person that suits the stereotype of a 'kattar Musalamaan', egg him on to talk nonsense and then ask questions on why Muslims are like this only.

News channels use a similar format with nutjobs like Ajay Gautam of Hum Hindu to create useless debates around homosexuality being against Hindu culture, etc. The match is fixed to favour nutters from all sides. It's to offer you a Bigg Boss experience every night instead of news
