“The word ”mujahid” means one who is engaged in jihad (holy war) and a protector who strikes against evil and advocates truthfulness. Every Muslim should be a ”mujahid” and there is no harm in using this prefix. Jihad is a spiritual fight against the enemy. Our religion is being misinterpreted by some sections of media,” he said in a statement.
According to him, the term ”mujahid” has been always used in a negative way by the media.
“I will use the prefix ”mujahid” at every place where my name will be used. We are not terrorists. ”Mujahid” is in no way related to any kind of terrorism.”
