NEW DELHI, Jan. 29, 2024 (TBINN)
The government today extended ban imposed on terrorist group Students Islamic Movement of India (S.I.M.I.) for five years for its involvement in fomenting terrorism and disturbing peace and communal harmony in the country.
In a post on ‘X’, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that bolstering Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of zero tolerance against terrorism, S.I.M.I. has been declared an ‘Unlawful Association’ for a further period of five years under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (U.A.P.A.).
The S.I.M.I. was first banned in 2001 when the Atal Bihar Vajpayee Government was in power and since then the ban has been extended every five years.
