New Delhi, June 8: Terror outfit Al-Qaeda in the Subcontinent (AQIS) threatened suicide attacks in Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Mumbai and Delhi to “fight for the dignity of our Prophet” amid brewing controversy over the remarks by BJP leaders on the founder of Islam, news agency ANI reported. In a threat letter dated June 6, AQIS warned that “saffron terrorists should now await their end in Delhi and Bombay and in UP and Gujarat”, according to the report.
“We shall kill those who affront our Prophet and we shall bind explosives with our bodies and the bodies of our children to blow away the ranks of those who dare to dishonour our Prophet… The saffron terrorists should now await their end in Delhi, Bombay, UP and Gujarat,” the letter said.
The fury over now-suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma’s remarks regarding the Prophet Muhammad appears to be growing, as more countries have joined in criticising India over the remarks. At least 15 countries have condemned the situation, and Indian diplomats have been called by their respective foreign ministries. Over a dozen Muslim countries, including Iraq, Libya, Malaysia, and Turkey, condemned the provocative remarks.
Malaysia was the most recent country to speak out against “derogatory remarks made by politicians in India against the Prophet.” Malaysia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it summoned India’s High Commissioner on Tuesday to express Malaysia’s complete condemnation of the event.
