If you think that literatures which induces the terrors in Indian soil is sold in Jammu and Kashmir then you are wrong. Recent arrests of SIMI in Ujjain and Indore exposed some shocking secrets of the terror in India.
Seven more members of Islamic movement in India, SIMI were arrested on Sunday and form them police have seized some literature which is all about the running a terror camp. This literature contains the key to train the cadres to attack on the BJP leaders like Advani and Modi.
It has several modules and levels of training. These go into details of military support needed to "back up" the ideological substance in the SIMI training literature.
The literature recovered explains usage of fire weapons from close range besides ways of staying in hiding and ambushing targets. Investigators are poring over the contents of these terror-training modules to unearth SIMI's functioning.
The "syllabus" calls for an Islamic state freed from western cultural influences - SIMI has been advocating a fight against social and moral degeneration of society that makes it un-Islamic. However, SIMI leaders claim to have turned to more "militant" means after the Babri Masjid demolition and post-Godhra riots, which according to them were aimed at annihilation of Muslims in India.
Interrogation of SIMI chief Safdar Nagori and the other 12 arrested has revealed that they planned to target 10 top BJP and VHP leaders associated with these two events.
Investigation is also on to find out the funding model for the training programme of its militant cadre.
So far, SIMI has emerged as quite self-sufficient and its cadres are reasonably looked after. It has developed not only south India as its major hub but has already spread out a massive network across the country with cadres all over.
Aware of its international network, SIMI has even decided to omit India from its organisational name to assume a global Islamic identity as Student Islamic Movement (SIM).
Meanwhile, the Madhya Pradesh police have arrested seven more of its activists from Ujjain and Indore on the charge of providing assistance to their former chief Safdar Nagori and 12 other top leaders arrested last week.
Ujjain SP Manmeet Narang claimed five of the men were held on Monday while they were holding a meeting to chalk their course of action following the arrest of the main leaders. They were held from the courtyard of a house at Unhel village, a hub of SIMI activities.
They were produced before a court in Ujjain and remanded in police custody till April 7.The other two were arrested from a house in Indore in a raid on Sunday. Indore SP Anshuman Yadav said the duo was not only providing money to the banned organisation but other logistical support as well.
