Udaipur tailor murder: Delhi Jama Masjid's Shahi Imam condemns act, says 'not only act of cowardice but against Islam'

The Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid, Delhi, on Wednesday, condemned the brutal murder of a tailor in Udaipur by two men in a broad daylight and said it was “not only an act of cowardice but an act against Islam.” In a statement, Syed Ahmed Bukhari, Shahi Imam, Jama Masjid, Delhi said: “The heartbreaking, heinous murder committed in Udaipur has shaken the humanity. The inhumane incident of the murder of a man named Kanhaiya Lal by two persons named Riaz and Ghous, and that too in the name of the Holy Prophet, is not only an act of cowardice but an act against Islam.” “I, myself and on behalf of the Muslims of India, with all the vehemence at our disposal, condemn this act,” he said. Elaborating that Islam is a religion of peace and tranquility, with the life of the Prophet of Allah having numerous examples of compassion, tolerance, generosity and humanitarianism, Bukhari stated: “Had the persons who committed this barbaric act studied the life and character of the Holy Prophet and had they been well versed with the spirit of Quran and shariah, they would not have committed the heinous crime.” For the unversed, two men - Riaz Akhtari and Ghouse Mohammad - slit the throat of a tailor, identified as Kanhaiya Lal, in Udaipur on Tuesday, 28 June, days after he made a social media post in support of suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma.
