ARTICLE SNIPPET: "[India News]: Ahmedabad, Nov 19 : An Islamic cleric arrested earlier this month was planning to bring militant groups together to fight for an Islamic state in India, police claimed Friday.
The plan was revealed during the interrogation of Mohammed Nasiruddin alias Maulana Nasiruddin, arrested in Hyderabad after a shootout in which one of his supporters was killed, police here said.
"Maulana has been associated with Jamaat-e-Islami, a moderate organisation since 1970. The notorious Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) is a student wing of the organisation and Maulana has been associated with it too," Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) D.G. Vanzara told reporters."
