AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday questioned the Union government’s security claims in Kashmir after a video showing blasts in Delhi emerged, accusing Umar Nabi of justifying the suicide bombings. The Hyderabad MP also questioned the government’s recent claims of declining terrorist recruitment in Kashmir.
“There is an undated video of the Delhi blasts of Umar Nabi justifying the suicide bombing as ‘martyrdom’ and that it is ‘misunderstood’. Suicide is haram in Islam and killing innocents is a grave sin. Such acts are also against the laws of the land. They are not ‘misunderstood’ in any way.” This is terrorism and nothing else,” Owaisi said in a post on X.
In an alleged video that surfaced online on Tuesday, Dr. Umar Nabi, the driver of the car used in the Delhi bomb blast that killed 12 people, talks about the “misunderstood” idea of suicide bombings.
“During Operation Sindoor and Mahadev, Amit Shah assured Parliament that no local Kashmiri has joined terror groups in the last six months. Where did this group come from? Who is responsible for the failure to detect this group?” Owaisi asked in a post on X.
The video, believed to have been taken before the November 10 attack, comes a day after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Sunday described Nabi as a “suicide bomber”.
Nabi, a Kashmiri, is said to be behind the wheel of the Hyundai i20 that exploded near Red Fort, killing 12: DNA evidence matched his remains to his mother.
What did Amit Shah say in Rajya Sabha?
The November 10 attack in the capital came hours after police busted a white-collar terror cell in Faridabad, where they recovered nearly 3,000 kg of explosives and arms and ammunition.
So where did this group come from? Who is responsible for the failure to detect this group?
On 30 July 2025, in a speech in the Rajya Sabha, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that no local has joined any terrorist group in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) in the last six months. Those killed in security operations in Union territory were all foreigners, he said.
“Today I can say with certainty that terrorism in Kashmir is on the verge of eradication. There was a time when Pakistan did not even need to send terrorists because our own Kashmiri youth took up arms. But today in this House I am presenting the data of the last six months,” we said that not a single Kashmiri youth was recruited into any terrorist organization in Pakistan, while all of them are now successful in the Shahi House. Operation Sindoor.
