The ban on SIMI

Ghulam Mohammed disagrees with the views expressed by Javed Anand in an article in the Indian Express. The post, and the article, remind one of old, valid questions: Why ban SIMI, and not the Bajrang Dal? And the RSS?

Of course! It is a question of law.

India as a nation is a legal construct. It is based on law. If you have to find life beyond law, you are on a very shaky territory.

In fact, Javed Anand’s frustration over his gross inability to interpret the law of land by sanctifying the terms ‘secularism and democracy’, in the mould of Marxist logic, while neatly bypassing and ignoring the constitutional fundamental rights of freedom of religion and freedom of speech in drawing up a charge-sheet against SIMI, is so apparent, that it is surprising, he is so unaware that his slip is showing. [...]

Of course, there were hotheads in SIMI, as there are in every grouping, including the Marxists and the Hindutvadis. But the law cannot be so applied that it cannot stand judicial scrutiny. If on presentation of facts, the court is not convinced that SIMI is guilty as charged, why should Muslims not rejoice in being liberated from the conspiracy of the Hindu extremists?
