At a time when Mumbai police are on the lookout for the Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) members for their suspected role in 7/11 serial blasts, it is panic to know that Congress and Left parties including Sonia Gandhi, Ambika Soni and Prakash Jaiswal had opposed NDA to ban on SIMI. Now the Mulayam Singh Yadav government is contemplating withdrawing the cases against banned SIMI members and setting them free. We wonder if they take any action at all even if India gets nuked. March 26, 2002: Sonia Gandhi, during an extraordinary joint session convened for the introduction of the POTA bill, says that the anti-terrorism measure had been selectively used to ban an organization that had nothing to do with terrorism in J&K. Further she opposed the banning of Islamic terrorist organization SIMI in June 2002. premendra.sulekha.com/blog/post/2006/07/mulayam-softs-on-simi.htm
