Indore, March 27: In a major crackdown against the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), at least 13 of its top leaders including some state chiefs were arrested by Madhya Pradesh Police for allegedly being involved in weapons procurement and illegal financing of the outfit.

Among those arrested as part of a special police operation that began last night and was continuing today, were SIMI leader in Madhya Pradesh, Safdar Nagori and his brother and chief of the operations in Andhra Pradesh Kamruddin.

The outfit's top leaders in Karnataka, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra were also nabbed, police sources said, adding that intelligence agencies had been keeping tabs on the activities on the banned Islamist group here for quite

sometime.

Describing the operation as a "big achievement for the police," Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said in Bhopal that "weapons and computers have been found.

Investigations are on into SIMI's plans to expand its network in the state...This is a major achievement and SIMI's network will be eradicated".

He said the SIMI leaders arrested included those from Kerala and Karnataka but did not give further details.

gale -gale me shore hai,kutta kawa nutan chor HAI. by DIL:IP/FRANCE on 28 Mar 2008

I would like to remind that Half katwa, that VHPis not a Fascist organisation.THe reality is opposite,we are a charitable hindu organisation, who happens to uphold Hindu values,heritage and just civilisation with robust and vehement courage and resilience. To demonise and dehumanise us, will not wash. We are confident,righteous and ruthless in defending our position and hindu status and territory.To malign and scurr us eith twaddle and eaggeration,will be meet with fierce counter attack.On the other hands all SIMI thugs and their associates and chamchas, that tries to cause hindus harm will be caught and hanged by theoir balls and then to the scavaenging pigs.DO you have any problem? THen face US?.
