An Islamic extremist group suspected of having links to al-Qaida has released a video calling for militant organisations across the Middle East and south Asia to attack India and Indian interests overseas.

The video was uploaded within 24 hours of India's recent election results, which saw a landslide victory for the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

...

Allegations that the BJP's leader Narendra Modi allowed, or even encouraged, violence in which 1,000 people, largely Muslims, died in the western Indian state of Gujarat in 2002 have made the prime minister elect a target for Islamic extremists.

Modi, who was chief minister of Gujarat at the time, has denied wrongdoing and the country's supreme court found insufficient evidence to support charges against him.

There is no direct mention of Modi but the video – issued by a little known group calling itself the Ansar-ut-Tawheed fi Bilaad Hind (Brotherhood for Monotheism in the land of Hind) – refers repeatedly to the events in Gujarat in 2002.

...

"O lions of faith, target the oppressive and infidel Indian government's financial centres and economic interests within India and those located around the world, until Indian government reaches the brink of destruction," says the speaker, who calls himself Abdur Rehman al Hindi (the Indian).
