India: Terrorism Snippets-1

Muslim body says SIMI has links with Pakistan

According to a report in the Free Press Journal datelined New Delhi, the All India Minority Front has said on August 8 that it had evidence that the outlawed Students Islamic of Movement of India (SIMI) had links with terror outfits in Pakistan. It quoted the AMF national President SM Asif as saying, “We have evidence of SIMI's links with Pakistani terror outfits and are ready to provide it to the central government, provided we are promised security. We have spoken to various Muslim people who have proof in this regard but they fear for their lives.”

He further added “We want SIMI should be banned and punished. The minorities in the country are opposed to all sorts of militancy. Even then Muslims suffer whenever there is any terror attack in the country.” Asif attacked the Railway Minister Lalu Prasad and Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav for demanding that the ban on SIMI be lifted. “The minorities in the country are opposed to all sorts of militancy. Even then Muslims suffer whenever there is any terror attack in the country” he said.
