Mutual Fund's Free Insurance Stopped by SEBI

Dear all,
Insurance providers have decided not to provide group cover any more for mutual funds schemes offering insurance from the 1st of October.
the Insurance Lobby is very strong. They saw that their income is shrinking due to massive shifting of money from Insurance to Mutual Funds offering Free Insurance.
People have realised that ULIPs have high cost, non-flexible, high exit loads, hidden charges and have started shifting to Mutual Funds. The Insurance Players could not stand seeing the big loss staring at them.
Why should you pay 35% commission to Insurance Agent and a paltry 2% to Mutual Fund Agent?.
SEBI has always been favouring Insurance vis a vis Mutual Funds. Mutual Funds cant hire services of an Celebrity while the Insurance Agents can and do this to screw Lakhs of gullible Investors. Shame on IRDA for stopping something which is for the Good for the Investing Public.
Are they not doing a disservice to Investors?. Why is SEBI silent?.
We need to protest this decision by IRDA and ensure a Level playing field for Mutual Funds and Insurance.
If the Mutual Funds should not sell Insurance, well and Good, the Insurance Companies also should not sell ULIPs!!!.
