Panaji, Jul 16: "Don't link islam with the terrorism," All India Milli council, a Muslim body comprising of professionals, on Sunday appealed to government while condemning the Mumbai and Srinagar bomb blast incidents.
 
On their Goa visit to attend state level AIMC's convention, AIMC vice president Dr Yaseen Ali Usmani told reporters that there are unnecessary attempts to link Islam with terrorism. "We condemn the blasts…. Police inquiry is going on and whoever is guilty should be punished," he said.
 
The Muslim leader termed Mumbai blasts as Maharashtra government's failure to take preventive action. "Why there were immediate arrests after the blast.. The arrests should have been before the incident could occur," he questioned.

AIMC's executive member Muchhala denied that Mumbai blasts could not Gujarat reaction. "We don't believe in action and reaction. It's Narendra Modi, who believes in it," he shot back.
 
"You can't kill innocent people just because you are avenging something. It is not permissible in Islam. A terrorist is a terrorist. Whatever happened in Mumbai was a terrorist act," Muchhala said.
 
Replying to a question on Godhra and Bhivandi, he said," if proved, the Godhra act should also be considered as terrorist act. "Bhivandi act was a mad mob fury which can also be described as terrorism," Muchhala added.
