AIMIM Chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday strongly condemned an “undated video” featuring Delhi Blast accused Dr. Umar Un Nabi, in which he justified suicide bombings as “martyrdom” and described the concept as “misunderstood.” In a post on X, Owaisi emphasized that suicide is haram in Islam and that killing innocent people is a grave sin. He stated, “Suicide is haram in Islam and the killing of innocents is a grave sin. Such acts are also against the law of the land. They are not ‘misunderstood’ in any way. This is terrorism and nothing else.”

Owaisi also questioned the accountability of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who had previously assured Parliament that no local Kashmiri had joined terror groups in the past six months. He asked, “During Operation Sindoor and Mahadev, Amit Shah had assured Parliament that no local Kashmiri had joined terror groups in the last six months. Where did this group come from, then? Who is accountable for the failure to detect this group?”

In the viral video, Umar Nabi defended suicide bombing as “martyrdom” and claimed it was “misunderstood.” The November 10 attack, carried out using a moving Hyundai i20 near the Red Fort, resulted in 15 deaths and over two dozen injuries. A special NIA court at Patiala House remanded Jasir Bilal Wani, also known as Danish, to 10 days’ NIA custody. Investigations revealed that Jasir allegedly provided technical support for the attack by modifying drones and attempting to make rockets. A resident of Qazigund, Anantnag, J&K, he worked closely with Umar Nabi in planning the terror strike.
