Indian Mujahideen banned in UK


Britain on Thursday banned terrorist outfit Indian Mujahideen (IM), citing the group’s “indiscriminate mass casualty attacks” in India which “posed a threat” to British nationals there.


Members of UK’s House of Commons unanimously approved a motion proscribing IM and placing it on the list of 47 organisations that have been banned from functioning in UK.


“Indian Mujahideen is a terrorist organisation which has carried out a number of indiscriminate mass casualty attacks in India since 2007. It uses violence to achieve its stated objectives of establishing an Islamic state in India and implementing Sharia law,” Home Secretary Theresa May said.
