Al-Qaeda warned it will launch suicide assaults in Delhi, Mumbai, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat to “battle for the honour of the Prophet” in a threat letter dated June 6.
This is in light of the controversy that has emerged following remarks made by a few BJP officials about Prophet Muhammad.
“We will assassinate anyone who insult our Prophet, and we will bind explosives to our bodies and the bodies of our children in order to wipe out the ranks of those who dare to defame our Prophet… In Delhi, Bombay, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat, the saffron terrorists must now await their fate “According to the letter.
Several countries, including Malaysia, Kuwait, and Pakistan, have recently criticised recent remarks made by a few BJP officials about Prophet Muhammad. While Nupur Sharma made statements during a television debate, Naveen Jindal, another leader, made a contentious remark on Twitter.
Meanwhile, India has emphasised that the views expressed are those of a small number of fringe elements and do not reflect the views of the Indian government. India also “categorically rejected” a statement from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) calling India’s actions “unjustified and narrow-minded.”
The ruling BJP had previously dismissed Nupur Sharma as a spokesperson and removed media in-charge Naveen Jindal over the statements. The party published a statement emphasising its opposition to any disrespect for religious figures.
