Sometime back there was a ban on SIMI and when the period of ban was over, we heard some secular voices against extending the ban on it. Two of them were from key players of our national politics, especially during the 'trust' vote episode. They are none other than the latest 'angel' of Indian politics, Sonia, and her new found (foe turned) friend Mulayam. They were terribly 'upset' that 'innocent Muslims' cannot be 'tortured in the name of terrorism' and so strongly reccommended that the ban on SIMI be lifted immediately. Should we believe that even after being in politics and power for a long period, they were unaware of the activities and history of SIMI? Definitely not! Then why such a stand on an organization of this kind? Obviously because supporting such 'secular' missions will help them better to cling on to power. So, naturally they will be against 'merchants of death', to such organizations. They know very well that a few hundred innocents who die on the streets will not affect their vote banks. More important than bringing back laws like the TADA & POTA is to punish such anti-national politicians who are one of the key factors of the existence and growth of heartless terrorism in this country. Politicians and public should understand that by crushing and wiping out these terrorists, not only will be at peace, but also be strong economically and development will be at a faster pace, since funds now diverted towards such activities can be used positive things.
