INDIAN intelligence agencies are on high alert after the Al Qaeda in Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) warned of suicide bombings in various cities and states of the country to avenge the insult to Prophet Muhammad.
In a letter issued on Monday (6), the AQIS said it would carry out the attacks in major cities such as national capital Delhi and Mumbai, the country’s financial capital, besides states such as Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat, the home state of prime minister Narendra Modi to “fight for the honour of the Prophet”.

All Indian statesa have been alerted by the intelligence agencies about the threat, The Indian Express reported.
“A few days ago, the propagators and flag bearers of Hindutva – a system and philosophy hostile to the religion and Shariah of Allah – insulted and slandered the purest of beings, the most honourable after God himself, Muhammad al Mustafa, Ahmad al Mujtaba, and his noble and pure wife, the mother of the believers, Sayyidah Ayesha bint Abu Bakr as Siddeeq in the most vile and evil manner on an Indian TV channel. In response to this affront, the hearts of Muslim all over the world are bleeding and are filled with feelings of revenge and retribution,” the letter said.
“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.”

“We warn every audacious and impudent foul mouth of the world, especially the Hindutva terrorists occupying Indian that we should fight for the dignity of our Prophet, we should urge others to fight and die for the honour of our Prophet, we should kill those who affront our Prophet and we should bind explosives with our bodies and the bodies of our children to blow away the ranks of those who dare to dishonour our Prophet,” it added.

“The saffron terrorists should now await their end in Delhi, Bombay, UP and Gujarat. They should find refuge neither in their homes nor in their fortified army cantonments,” the letter also said.
A massive controversy erupted last month after Nupur Sharma, a leader of Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made controversial remarks over the Prophet during a television debate. The Muslim world, including the Arab countries, slammed India over the incident and the BJP consequently suspended Sharma and expelled another member Naveen Kumar Jindal over his controversial remarks.
