‘Terrorism, Nothing Else’: Owaisi Slams Delhi Blast Accused, Says Suicide Is Haram In Islam
In a strong condemnation of the recent Delhi blast, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi labeled the act as “terrorism, nothing else” and emphasized that suicide is strictly forbidden (haram) in Islam. The Hyderabad MP’s remarks came after Delhi Police arrested two suspects linked to the low-intensity explosion near the Israel Embassy, raising security concerns in the national capital.
Delhi Blast: Incident and Immediate Reactions
A minor explosion occurred near the Israel Embassy in Delhi on Tuesday evening, causing panic but no casualties. Preliminary reports suggest the use of an improvised explosive device (IED). Delhi Police’s Special Cell detained two individuals, including one who allegedly recorded a video claiming responsibility, citing retaliation for Israel’s actions in Gaza.
Owaisi, a vocal critic of terrorism, stated, “This is terrorism, pure and simple. Islam prohibits such acts, and suicide is haram. Those who commit these crimes do not represent Islam or Muslims.” His comments counter attempts to link the blast to “Islamic extremism.”
Owaisi’s Theological Stand Against Terrorism
The AIMIM leader stressed that Islamic teachings forbid suicide and killing innocents. Quoting Quranic verses and Hadiths, he said, “The Prophet (PBUH) warned that those who take their own life face eternal punishment. Terrorism has no religion—violent perpetrators are criminals, not martyrs.”
His stance aligns with global Islamic scholars who denounce suicide attacks as un-Islamic. The intervention is crucial amid political narratives that often stigmatize communities.
Political Debate and Security Measures
The blast triggered a political clash, with the BJP accusing opposition parties of being “soft on terror.” Home Minister Amit Shah ordered probes into potential international links, including ties to Hamas.
Owaisi criticized the BJP’s “selective outrage,” referencing past violence involving non-Muslim perpetrators that received less attention. “Terrorism must be condemned uniformly, regardless of ideology,” he asserted.
Security agencies heightened surveillance near foreign missions, with the NIA likely taking over if evidence reveals a broader conspiracy.
Global and Civil Society Responses
The Israeli Embassy thanked Indian authorities but called for tighter security. The US and UK issued advisories for their citizens, while activists urged against communal polarization.
Harsh Mander of civil rights group said, “Avoid conclusions before investigations conclude.”
Conclusion: Unity Against Terrorism
Owaisi’s condemnation highlights terrorism’s lack of religious justification. The incident underscores the need for unity and justice, ensuring no community is unfairly targeted.
Authorities continue investigating, with hopes the case strengthens India’s resolve against terrorism.
