NEW DELHI: Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid Syed Ahmad Bukhari today made a scathing attack on Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, describing him as the "terrorist number one" in the country.

"Narendra Modi is the terrorist number one in the country. He is unleashing state-sponsored terrorism in Gujarat. In the name to curbing terrorism, innocent people are arrested and harassed," Bukhari said at an international conference against terrorism organised by the Jama Masjid United Forum here today.

Bukhari referred to the Gujarat riot and other incidents to elaborate his point.

"Gujarat riot took place as per the instruction of Modi. He is still in power. The victims of the riot do not have any expectation for justice as long as he is in power," Bukhari said.

He claimed people were resorting to terrorism to take revenge against forces which harass them.

"When a boy sees his family members being brutally killed and is not getting justice, what will he do. Will he not become violent," he asked.

"Those who have been victimised should get justice, otherwise terrorism will not end," he said.

Some other forces are also unleashing terror in the name of 'Jehad'. They are killing innocent people in Jammu and Kashmir, he said.

"We are condemning such acts. Islam does not allow these things," he said.
