Lucknow: After sending threats by telephone, SMS, email and by ordinary post, the little known terrorist organisation ‘Indian Mujahedeen’ has threatened some Muslim religious leaders in the country of dire consequences if they continued opposing it.
The organization, which appeared in the media first time after the Jaipur serial bombings, has asked Ulema to refrain from issuing statements against it.
Senior police officials have been informed about this threat but no FIR has been registered in this regard. Senior police officials have confirmed receiving a copy of the threat letter but are refusing to give any further comment on it.
The Muslim leaders who have received the threat are Maulana Arshad Madani, former president of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind (JUH), Maulana Mahmood Madani, MP Rajya Sabha and former general secretary of JUH, Maulana Jalaluddin Umri, chief of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, and Maulana Khalid Rashid Firangimahli, senior member All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), and Dr Zakir Naik, eminent religious scholar and a medical doctor.
Maulana Khalid Rashid said probably this letter has been written in the context of the anti-terrorism conference held in Lucknow on 2nd February this year in which many Ulema and religious leaders criticized terrorism. The letter is signed by a person named Guru-al-Hind.
