Ludhiana — Senior BJP leader Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal has issued a strong and urgent statement condemning the latest terror threats issued by Saad bin Atef al-Awlaki, the newly emerged commander of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). In a disturbing 30-minute video, al-Awlaki openly threatened former United States President Donald Trump, business magnate Elon Musk, U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. The video also featured imagery of Tesla and SpaceX, clearly targeting global symbols of innovation and progress.Grewal said this is not just a threat—it is an outright declaration of war against global democracy, peace, and progress.
Grewal said, that enough is enough. The world cannot afford to tolerate the cancer of terrorism any longer. This is not just a call to violence against individuals, it is an attack on the very foundations of free societies. These extremist organizations are enemies of civilization.
Grewal emphasized that terrorism has no religion and no justification. He stated that killing innocents in the name of faith is one of the most despicable acts possible and must be condemned universally. He pointed out that the current threat highlights how extremist networks are now emboldened to directly challenge global leaders, technological visionaries, and democratic systems with impunity.
He added that Elon Musk’s companies like Tesla and SpaceX stand as beacons of innovation and progress. That such figures and institutions are being threatened only shows how much extremists fear knowledge, development, and change.
Grewal also strongly criticized the support and shelter that some terrorist elements receive from state-backed agencies, particularly referencing the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of Pakistan. He warned that the world cannot close its eyes any longer to the networks that nourish these forces of evil.
“The ISI has long been accused of backing terrorism across South Asia and beyond. If we are truly committed to global peace, the international community must investigate, expose, and isolate all agencies and nations that support or shield terror groups,” Grewal said.
Calling upon the global community, Grewal urged nations such as India, the United States, Israel, Canada, and all democratic countries to come together and form an uncompromising international front to uproot terrorism completely. He expressed appreciation for Israel’s decisive responses to threats and suggested that all peace-loving nations must act with equal resolve.
As a proud Indian, Grewal further urged the Government of India to take the lead in this fight. He said that I humbly request Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to strengthen India’s stance against terror and work diplomatically with world powers to create a global alliance for anti-terror operations. We must make it clear: India will never bow before fear or violence.
He continued, “This is the time for zero tolerance. No more diplomatic silence, no more excuses. Terrorists must know they can run, but they cannot hide. No one threatening the peace of the world should feel safe anywhere—not in Yemen, not in Pakistan, not in any dark corner of this earth.”
Grewal called for strict action, increased international cooperation, and real-time intelligence sharing among nations. He emphasized the need to act before threats become tragedy, and he warned that the world is watching how democratic governments respond to such blatant provocations.
He concluded his statement with a clear and determined message that We will not kneel. We will not forgive. We will retaliate—with justice, with force, and with unity. This planet belongs to peace-loving people, not to the merchants of fear and destruction.
