Bhopal: After rolling of heads, though only with changes in postings of IAS and IPS officers, over the remission granted to alleged five members of the banned Students’ Islamic Movement of India, (SIMI), the Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee, (MPCC), has now trained its gun against Jagdish Deora, the Jail Minister of the BJP ruled state.
Addressing a Press conference here on Saturday MPCC spokesperson K. K. Mishra while calling for Deora’s sacking, he termed the whole episode as a ”major conspiracy”. He forthwith demanded Central Bureau of Investigation, (CBI), probe into it.
Zadeel Parvez, Ayaz alias Ashu, Akbar Kha, Meheruddin and Irshad Ali were allegedly former SIMI memers, first apprehended in Unhel on March 30, 2008. The District and Sessions Court sentenced them to five years in prison for treason but within two weeks the convicts were freed from Khachrod Sub-Jail in Ujjain district because they had already served 33 months almost half of their jail term.
They were released under an amnesty scheme on January 26 last along with many others on the ground of good conduct. The alleged SIMI members were, however, re-arrested late Friday night (February 4) following an uproar by the saffron outfits to which state Congress party also lend vociferous support and injected a new angle of huge money transaction but without any supporting evidence to substantiate its charge.
