Talking to reporters here on Friday, Tripathi said that a case registered against Sone Lal, Anuj, Dharmendra, Sarvesh, Dulare, Sahdev, Ravi, Bhan Singh, Gautam, Suresh and others under Section 395/397 in Kannauj was withdrawn.

The government ignored recommendation of senior officers of the Kannauj district administration.

Tripathi said all the 13 accused arrested in connection with the Mumbai blasts belonged to the SIMI which was an terrorist outfit. However, the Chief Minister gave the organisation a clean chit.

Condemning the appeasement policy of the State Government, Tripathi demanded immediate ban on SIMI and arrest of its office-bearers and activists.

He also condemned alleged rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl Rekha Nishad and said that the BJP had appointed a two-member committee comprising Jai Prakash Chaturvedi, MLC, and former minister Gorakh Prasad Nishad. The committee members would meet the family members of the deceased, before deciding to launch an agitation against the district administration.
