Under the able guidance of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Madhya Pradesh police and intelligence has remained alert in curbing any terrorist activities in the State. This alertness has resulted in the busting of a major network of Students Islamic Movement (SIMI) in Indore which has led to arrests of supporters of terrorists in Indore, Khandwa, Dewas and other towns. With this, the State machinery has given and clear-cut message to terrorists organisations that Madhya Pradesh is not a soft state and any designs to disrupt peace would be nipped in the bud.
After defeat in Bangladesh in 1971, Pakistan realized that it cannot face India's military might in the battlefields. Therefore, Pakistan waged a proxy war on India through human bombs and hardcore terrorist outfits including Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad. The proxy war culminated in Siachen battle in which Pakistan-backed ultras had to bite the dust.
Now, Pakistan and its agents in India are out to provoke Indian Muslims. They have also planned to include women in their dragnet with a view to making it wider.
These disclosures were made by the SIMI activists arrested by Madhya Pradesh recently, reports SMS News and Feature.
As per the disclosures, the banned organisation SIMI which has become a menace for internal security of the country has prepared a women's wing. This wing is involved in provoking minority community women.
According to sources, police came to know about the formation of the women wing through more than one and half a dozen SIMI activists who were arrested in Indore recently.
Intelligence Bureau and police have collected information related to this wing and the women involved in this work. This wing of SIMI includes women and girls. The family members of these women play active role in SIMI.
Their network is spread in the entire country along with Madhya Pradesh. It provides important information to SIMI.

The activist has been identified as Rafiq Mohammad, a resident of Gharib Nawaz Colony of Indore, Superintendent of Police, Anshuman Singh told SMS News and Feature agency. Police have registered a case against him for his alleged involvement in illegal activities and helping anti-national elements, Yadav said adding that he was being interrogated to further expose the planning of SIMI. On March 27, police had arrested 13 top SIMI activists including its Madhya Pradesh Chief Safdar Nagori who were later remanded to police custody till April 11.

According to police sources, the arrested 13 SIMI activists from Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala and Maharashtra had assembled in Indore for their annual meeting, which began on March 27, but were arrested on the same day. Police is of the view that the meeting discussed making SIMI a militant organisation and other strategies including training in this regard. Material (printed matter) recovered from those arrested revealed that SIMI activists have to go for a tough training, sources said.
