Samajwadi Party MP Akhilesh Yadav has opposed the ban on SIMI saying it is not fair to associate the organisation with terror activities. Talking to reporters at Kota in Rajasthan aside the party’s national convention, Yadav said, “Associating SIMI with terrorist activities is wrong.”
Though recommending stringent punishment for those indulging in terror activities, he said it was unjust to harrass innocent people.
