PANAJI: Goa's main opposition political party has feared that banned SIMI outfit has shifted its activities in Goa, blaming state government for not doing enough to curtail them under political compulsions. "The recent idol desecration incidents is SIMI's handiwork. They attempt to flare up communal tension through such incidents," leader of opposition and BJP leader Manohar Parrikar told reporters here.
Parrikar said that the SIMI had executed similar modus operandi in Maharashtra to create communal tension, which can be used to execute their terror agenda. Goa has witnessed spate of idol desecration incidents recently. "I can recall at least twenty such incidents in recent past. These are attempts to flare up communal tension in the state," the leader of opposition said.
Blaming the chief minister Digamber Kamat of being dormant on the entire issue, Parrikar said that the recent seizure of swords from CM's constituency is a worrisome incident. "Officers investigating in the seizure is heading nowhere as some of theose related to CM's supporters are involved in the matter," Parrikar, who is a former Goa CM, alleged.
The BJP leader pointed out that SIMI activists arrested in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh have confessed that they were trying to build a strong base in Goa. "Goa police should have interrogated these activists to unearth Goa link. But nothing has happened. Police are sitting dormant," he said.
