We can deny neither the khilāfah (caliphate; political leadership) nor the wilāyah (spiritual leadership). The direct caliphate of Abū Bakr as-Siddīq (رضي الله عنه) was established with the consensus of the people and is categorically proved by the evidence of history. The direct spiritual leadership of ‘Alī al-Murtadā (رضي الله عنه) was announced by the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) himself and is categorically proved by the evidence of unbroken chain of traditions. The proof of the caliphate is the consensus of the Companions (رضي الله عنهم), the proof of spiritual sovereignty (wilāyah) is the declaration of the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم). One who denies the caliphate in fact denies history and consensus, and one who denies the spiritual leadership (wilāyah) denies the Prophet’s declaration. Therefore, both the caliphate and the spiritual leadership are inescapable realities. What is urgently needed is a clear understanding of the reality of the two institutions in order to present them to the people as unity, and not as division.

I think he is brelvi. you can find more about him on these websites:
I am a sunny Muslim. Not brelvi and not deoubandi. I am simple summy muslim and all income from these books will go to a Islamic Welfare Centre in Scotland.
Ravage,
Zer has answered your question already.
Brelvi is the person who has studied in a madrassa in Breli Sharif in India. and Deoubandi is who has studied in a madarsa in Deouband Sharif in India.
I am trying to promote love Allah SWT and love of Prophet Muhammad PBUH.
So many sunnis and shias have already tried to bring both firqa together; but all in vain .
Steal courage and explain it to them , that why did you say that one can not deny historical fact; but a muslim can not, also deny , the last AAyat of Sorah Raad.
Which says:
You can consult it your self. It provides fazelat of Ali and
Sorah alahzab provides the fazelat of ahlal baate rasoul as they were aale ibrahim. This what I have believed in after exploring differences between Khilafat and religious heads. Try, may be GOD wanted you to bring these two main streams together. Bye sokoon
