The Sword of Damocles

Eureka Eureka! Today our Home Minister has let us into the big secret that SIMI is involved in Mumbai blasts. However, it might be anti climax for him when he realise that this is the same group which was suspected to be involved in July 28, 2005, Shramjeevi Express explosion near Jaunpur and the Varanasi serial blasts of March 7, 2006

To the unaware SIMI was first banned in 27 September 2001 for their Antinational and Terrorist activities.

I being a simpleton was relieved. I assumed that our government is taking all the steps to keep the SHAITAN called SIMI in leash. However, I was for a rude shock when I realised:-

That our SECULAR UP Governement supported by congress and assorted Seculars is Opposing ban of SIMI on grounds that it had not carried out any unlawful activities in the state after September 2005.
The state government is planning to withdraw criminal cases against the alleged masterminds of the 2001 Kanpur riots, including the state chief of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) Mohammad Amir and also the two accused of killing the then ADM (finance) CP Pathak.
Interesting to Note that it was soon after the Kanpur communal flare-up in 2001 that the Centre had declared SIMI an outlawed outfit.

In my shock I decided to find Solace with MOTHER OF SECULARS, the Holy CPM, the other major component in UPA Government. Here I was for bigger shock when I realised that in just concluded state elections, CPM was supported by none other than Coimbatore Bomb Blast Master Mind Abdul Madani’s PDP, ISI-backed jehadi outfit Jamaat-e- Islami. SIMI started as Student Wing of Jamaat-e- Islami. The People’s Democratic Party (PDP),ultra-radical National Development Front (NDF), Muslim Youth Cultural Forum, Karuna Foundation, Muslim Aikya Vedi, Sahridaya Vedi, Samskara Vedi, Solidarity Students Movement and the Movement for Protection of Islamic Symbols etc are under police scanner for SIMI presence ‘‘Yes, they(simi) went into other organisations after the ban came. We can’t do anything about it,’’ says the state DGP Raman Shrivastava. My shock was complete when I realsied that SIMI had organised a meeting of its top 25 leaders at Kozhikode last year, and a radical cleric from Lakshwadeep took classes for it in Malappuram.

Now I am confused How will our UPA Govt who owes its survival to Samajwadi Party, CPM etc who inturn owes their survival to Muslim Radical Organisations will take action against them.

More than Confused I guess I am scared!

In its latest study on SIMI, the South Asia Terrorism portal says, "In an age when 'zero-tolerance' is the declared policy towards any terrorist challenge to India's security, the official response has been marked by a typical mix of administrative lethargy, political opportunism and lack of a coherent policy."
