Suicide Haram, Killing Innocents Grave Sin: Owaisi
“During Operation Sindoor and Mahadev Amit Shah had assured Parliament that no local Kashmiri had joined terror groups in the last six months. Where did this group come from then? Who is accountable for the failure to detect this group?”: Owaisi
HYDERABAD: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi strongly condemned the notion of martyrdom allegedly recorded by Umar Nabi, the Delhi blast accused purportedly before the blast rocked the national capital on November 10. Reacting to the video clip, he said, “One cannot justify suicide bombing as ‘martyrdom’, as suicide is haram in Islam and the killing of innocents is a grave sin.”
Reacting to the video clip on X, the Hyderabad MP described this as a clear case of terrorism and nothing else. “There is an undated video of Delhi blasts accused Umar Nabi justifying suicide bombing as ‘martyrdom,’ and that it’s ‘misunderstood.’ Suicide is haram in Islam and the killing of innocents is a grave sin. Such acts are also against the law of the land. They are not ‘misunderstood’ in any way. This is terrorism and nothing else,” he tweeted.
The MP further questioned the Union home minister Amit Shah, as to who should be made accountable for the failure to detect the terrorists. “During Operation Sindoor and Mahadev Amit Shah had assured Parliament that no local Kashmiri had joined terror groups in the last six months. Where did this group come from then? Who is accountable for the failure to detect this group?” he asked.
Later speaking to media persons at the party head office in Darussalam, the AIMIM chief said that fourteen innocent people have died. “This is an outright crime and a sin. How did such things slip from the government's radar? This was clearly a suicide bombing.
This is a serious crime and an act of terrorism. Islam considers such acts haram and scholars from all schools of thought condemn them. The home minister recently said that no Kashmiri had joined any terrorist group in the last six months. Then how did a major blast occur in the nation’s capital, killing 14 people? Who is accountable for this lapse?” he questioned.
