Simi Terror Group News Today

The government extended the ban on SIMI for five years due to its involvement in terrorism and disturbing peace. Union Home Minister Amit Shah declared SIMI an Unlawful Association for five more years under the UAPA. SIMI has been continuously engaging in subversive activities and re-organizing absconding activists.

The Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) in India has been extended a five-year ban under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), 1967, following a plan to disrupt Prime Minister Narendra Modis visit to Phulwari Sharif in Patna. Ten states have also sought a ban on SIMI for their involvement in unlawful activities. A judicial tribunal will be set up under UAPA to examine the proposed ban.
