Judicial slap

The ban on SIMI is lifted, courtesy, lethargic approach from the authorities who failed to provide sufficient proof of their anti-national activities. Repeatedly, our police forces confirmed the involvement of SIMI in the recent blasts that ripped our cities. However, they were unable to produce sufficient proof that goes as a surprise.

SIMI started as a student wing in 1977 just to liberate India from the impact of western culture, later slowly transformed into a terrorist organization. It perceived RSS as enemy of Muslim & to tackle it, it joined hands with Islamic terrorist groups. The very purpose of founding the organization got deviated with time.

SIMI was learnt to be the mother organization for Al-Umma that was behind the serial blasts of Coimbatore to kill L K Advani. SIMI was suspected to be involved in 2003 Mumbai blasts that killed 55 people. After the 9/11 incident, SIMI was banned and a periodical review of the ban was suggested. Many SIMI members were arrested under TADA. Came Congress rule, and TADA is lifted and these members are free.

On one side, the investigators claim that India Mujahideen is none other than SIMI. They claimed to have made a breakthrough with the arrest of SIMI members in the recent blasts case. However, this judgment gives a serious slap on the face of the judicial system per se. What next will happen is SIMI will float a political party. They will form a secular alliance with parties and even become ministers. Then who can try them let alone think of punishing!

We are aware of Indian judicial system that is keen on protecting innocents even if it meant leaving out the criminals. The lawyers don’t look for actual facts but for a case in trials. Most of their questions are leading questions and at times, these will be closed leading questions! The jury’s judgment is based on the answers given to those closed leading questions.

With elections in the recent future, with an eye on the minority votes, the ruling Government had asked its lawyers to go soft on this case. It is not new to us as such things do happen whenever a leader is tried in our courts. With a change in rule, the grip of the lawyers in the case varies. Precisely this has happened in this case too. Under such circumstances, one is driven to think that the Government is trying to make Sushma’s idiotic comments true.

The ruling Government has ensured appeasement of a particular community by going soft in this case. However, it has proved India as a soft-target to terrorists. We claim Islamic terrorism responsible for the violence spread across our country but support them indirectly. This provides more ammunition to our enemies, who can utilize this opportunity to kill us! This proves that for our rulers, vote is more important than the nation. This activity is nothing but a suicidal.
