'Suicide is haram in Islam': Asaduddin Owaisi on Delhi bomber Umar Nabi's 'martyrdom' video, calls it 'terrorism'

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader Asaduddin Owaisi condemned the Delhi blasts accused Dr Umar Nabi for justifying his act of terror and emphasised that suicide is haram in Islam and the killing of innocents is a 'grave sin'.

This comes after a video of of suicide bomber Dr Umar Nabi emerged where he was seen talking about the "misunderstood" concept of suicide bombing, explaining that what is often labelled as suicide bombing is actually a martyrdom operation in Islam.

Owaisi took to his X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, "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."

Owaisi also said these 'acts are against the law' and are not 'misunderstood' in any way. "This is terrorism and nothing else," he added.

The AIMIM leader also questioned the Centre regarding the security lapse, asking how had this group emerged when Home Minister Amit Shah assured the Parliament that no local Kashmiri had joined terror groups.

"Where did this group come from then? Who is accountable for the failure to detect this group?", he wrote.

On the evening of November 10, a blast occurred in a car (driven by Dr Umar Nabi) near the Red Fort which claimed the lives of 15 people and injured many more.

At the moment, the role of a number of doctors linked to the Al Falah University and in Kashmir is under the scanner of anti-terror probe agencies.
