India
oi-Deepika S
New
Delhi,
Jun
07:
Dreaded
terrorist
group
Al
Qaeda
has
issued
a
threat
saying
that
it
would
launch
suicide
attacks
in
Delhi,
Mumbai,
Uttar
Pradesh
and
Gujarat
to
“fight
for
the
dignity
of
our
Prophet”.
The
terror
outfit’s
threat
came
in
response
to
derogatory
comments
at
Prophet
by
Nupur
Sharma,
now
suspended
BJP
spokesperson.
“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,
which
went
viral
on
social
media
stated.
“They
shall
find
refuge
neither
in
their
homes
nor
in
their
fortified
army
cantonments,
May
our
mothers
be
bereaved
of
us
if
we
do
not
average
our
beloved
Prophet,”
it
said.
“We
shall
fight
for
the
dignity
of
our
Prophet,
we
shall
urge
others
to
fight
and
die
for
the
honour
of
our
Prophet,”
the
statement
further
said.
Meanwhile,
Maharashtra
Police
on
Tuesday
asked
Nupur
Sharma
to
appear
before
them
on
June
22
to
record
her
statement
in
connection
with
her
alleged
derogatory
remarks
against
Prophet
Mohammad.
The
BJP
had
on
Sunday
suspended
Sharma
over
her
alleged
insulting
remarks
against
Prophet
Muhammad
that
drew
condemnation
from
several
Islamic
nations.
Stepping
up
pressure
for
legal
action
against
Nupur
Sharma
and
Naveen
Kumar
Jindal,
opposition
parties
on
Monday
demanded
that
they
be
arrested
for
their
controversial
remarks
on
Prophet
Mohammad
and
accused
the
BJP
of
denting
the
image
of
the
country.
While
the
ruling
party
faced
more
criticism
at
home,
the
diplomatic
fallout
of
the
row
continued
as
Saudi
Arabia,
Bahrain,
Indonesia,
Jordan,
UAE
and
Afghanistan
joined
several
Muslim
nations
in
condemning
the
controversial
remarks.
