Deputy chief minister Chhagan Bhujbal is being embarrassed by the leader of his own party, the NCP. He was the first leader to openly demand a ban on the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). But on Thursday, NCP spokesperson Vasant Chavan said the ban should not have been effected without collecting adequate evidence against SIMI. A similar view was expressed by NCPs senior leader Tariq Anwar here recently.

Mr Bhujbal, who heads the home ministry, had stated earlier that SIMI to spell out its stand on Kashmir. But the organization never took up the challenge.
