Twenty-three out of these 46 outfits are active in Kerala followed by eight in Maharashtra, seven in West Bengal, three in Bihar, two in Uttar Pradesh and one each in Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Delhi. Though some of them are put under the list of banned outfits by the respective states, most of these organisations have been working without any restrictions.
“State police and intelligence agencies have, however, been keeping close tabs on these outfits. But one has to have concrete evidence to ban them under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967”, said a senior home ministry official.
The identity of these outfits were disclosed by the home ministry in its background note submitted before the Special Tribunal headed by Delhi High Court judge Gita Mittal who did not uphold the notification of the goverment extending the ban on SIMI on Tuesday. These details were also submitted to the Supreme Court the next day when the home ministry successfully challenged the tribunal’s order and got a stay.
