Opinion \| Previous \| Next Ban on SIMI Sir, - Mr. P. Chandrasekharan's letter (Oct. 6) on the `Ban on SIMI' attempts to correct Mr. Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer on a very important question of law. He says that ``there is no law at present to mandate the Centre to publicise the cause for banning SIMI.'' The law is Article 19 of the Constitution of India; and Mr. Krishna Iyer has rightly, if I may say so, stated the law thus: ``Every person has a right to know why a group is governmentally suppressed since freedom of information is implicit in Article 19.''
