‘Threat to Kamlesh Tiwari’s life from terror group’

Agra: As per recent intelligence inputs, a Bangladesh-based group is planning to target Kamlesh Tiwari of the Hindu Mahasabha who allegedly made blasphemous remarks about Prophet Mohammad earlier this month. The group also plans to target the associates of Tiwari and individuals who have supported his statement, said officials.
An alert note shared to Uttar Pradesh police by intelligence agency reveals the terror group is trying to disrupt the peace and tranquility in the region by planning to attack Tiwari.“Since the alleged blasphemous remarks by Tiwari, we had been on alert and have deployed extra force, who are keeping tab on movements of suspicious persons,” said a senior police official.
Last week, Haji Aslam Qureshi, chairman of Islamiya Local Agency of Shahi Jama Masjid in Agra told TOI, "There is a great amount of anger in the Muslim community across the nation against the blasphemous remarks made by Kamlesh Tiwari. However, I request all Muslims not to take the law into their own hands and not behave in any manner that might trigger a conflict.”
