Muzaffarnagar: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minsiter Mulayam Singh Yadav, on Friday, said he had not made any remarks suggesting a clean chit to banned Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI).
"The statement appearing in a section of media is mischievous. I have not given any such statement," he told reporters at Sukhartal, 30 km from Muzaffarnagar, adding those found involved in the terror attacks should be punished.
He said the UP government had gunned down the terrorists involved in Ayodhya attack case within no time and alleged that the radicals had come from Delhi, Punjab and Kashmir - all the Congress ruled states.
To a question on creation of Harit Pradesh, an issue raised by the Rashtriya Lok Dal, he said he was always against creating small states because they come in the way of economic development.
The Samajwadi Party had, on Friday, given a clean chit to SIMI saying it was not a terrorist organisation, however, some of its members were involved in the terrorist activities and action should be taken against them.
The Chief Minister had also appeared to take a soft stand on the outfit, saying it had not been found to be involved in the Varanasi blasts and the terrorist attack in Ayodhya.
