SC refuses to lift ban on Deendar-e-Anjuman

New Delhi, Sep 15 (UNI) The Supreme Court today refused to lift the ban on Deendar-e-Anjuman, an organisation banned by the Union Government under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention ) Act for indulging in violent activities against the Christians.

A bench comprising Justices Arijit Pasayat and M K Sharma dismissed a petition seeking lifting of ban on the organisation which was imposed by the Centre on August 29, 2007 for two years.

The organisation was banned for the first time in 2001 after it was found involved in violence and a large number of places of worship were set on fire by its activists.
