Naxalite insurgency spreading like wildfire in Bharat. Hindustan's Maoist insurgency map. There are secessionist movements in almost every state in "India" encompasisng more than 200 districts. The Naxals have been supported by the Maoists in Nepal. With the Maoist victory in Nepal the Naxals and Maoists of Bharat are increasingly more assertive. There were a 1,591 incidents of Maoist violence resulting in 721 killings; this year until August there had been 1,405 incidents, resulting in 580 deaths spread over 11 states. The situation in the northeastern parts of the country, the prime minister warned, was far from comfortable. "In two of the states, Manipur and Assam, current levels of violence give us cause for concern. According to home minister P Chidambaram, they had presence in 17 states and were responsible for 90 percent of the violence in the country. Bharat Verma says New Delhi and the state capitals have almost ceded the governmental control over 40 % of the Union’s territory to the Naxalites. CNN-IBN reported on Nov 26th 2009 that at least 7000 armed Maoists have spread out across the West Midnapore, Purulia and Bankura district in West Bengal along with East Singhbhum in Jharkhand. Naxals collude with north-east insurgents. Clearly, the Maoists are preparing for a new surge. This time their target is West Bengal and their increased alliances with north-east insurgent groups of India will make it more difficult for the security forces to fight the Red terror. In Bengal, they are being assisted by hard-core rebels from Manipur's insurgent group, People Liberation Army, who are training tribal villagers living inside these forests.
Naxals collude with north-east insurgents. India fails in fight against Maoists: PM Singh
A CNN-IBN exclusive report has discovered that the collaboration between the Naxals with the North-East insurgent groups runs well beyond the supplies of arms from the latter. The Naxalas also get on-spot help from the NE insurgents.
Maoists camps dot the Jharkhand Bengal border. From these camps, Maoists launch one attack after another, increasing the area they control in India. The Red Corridor has seen progressive increase in terms of area and coverage.
CNN-IBN has now learnt that at least 7000 armed Maoists have spread out across the West Midnapore, Purulia and Bankura district in West Bengal along with East Singhbhum in Jharkhand.
In Bengal, they are being assisted by 50 hard-core rebels from Manipur’s insurgent group, People Liberation Army, who are training tribal villagers living inside these forests.
Sources have told CNN-IBN:
Just two months ago the Maoists acquired more weapons from illegal arms-suppliers in south-East Asia.
The weapons were originally meant for the now-decimated LTTE.
The arms were supplied by an elaborate network that is run in North-East India by the Naga insurgent group NSCN (IM).
The arms were smuggled in through two routes: Burma and Bangladesh.
The arms include 850 AK-47 rifles, 4000 small weapons and several hundred grenades.
They also include cheaper Chinese copies of weapons such as the American M-16 rifles and Russian Kalashnikovs – AK-47s and AK-56s.
Maoists are also trying to establish links with the ULFA.
They want ULFA to supply arms from Yunan province of southern China through the insurgents in Myanmar.
Clearly, the Maoists are preparing for a new surge. This time their target is West Bengal and their increased alliances with north-east insurgent groups of India will make it more difficult for the security forces to fight the Red terror.
NEW DELHI: Admitting that the government had “not achieved much success” in containing left wing extremism, which he described as the “gravest
internal security threat”, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday also maintained that infiltration through various routes was going up.
Addressing state police chiefs on the second day of their three-day conclave, Manmohan Singh at the outset pointed to the increasing influence of Maoist rebels in vast swathes of India. According to home minister P Chidambaram, they had presence in 17 states and were responsible for 90 percent of the violence in the country.
“I have consistently held that left wing extremism is, perhaps, the gravest internal security threat we face. We have not achieved as much success as we would have liked in containing it. It is a matter of concern that despite our efforts, the level of violence in the affected states continues to rise,” the prime minister said.
“As I have stated before, dealing with left wing extremism requires a nuanced strategy – it cannot be treated simply as a law and order problem. Despite its sanguinary nature, the movement manages to retain the support of a section of the tribals and the poorest of the poor in many areas. It has influence among sizeable sections of civil society, the intelligentsia and the youth.
“It still retains a certain elan. All this adds to the complexity of the problem. I expect you to keep this in mind as you devise newer and better strategies to deal with the problem.”
“But there are certain developments that are worrisome. Infiltration across the Line of Control and also via other routes such as Nepal, Bangladesh and the sea is going up. Encounters with armed militants have become more frequent in recent weeks and months,” he said.
“Secessionist and militant groups within the state are again attempting to make common cause with outside elements and have embarked on a series of protest movements. The intention apparently is to create an impression of widespread turmoil in the state. We must not allow such a situation to develop. It is imperative that these efforts are contained and checked.”
The situation in the northeastern parts of the country, the prime minister warned, was far from comfortable.
The Naxals and Maoists occupy about 20 states of India which are not in the control of the Central government.
“In two of the states, Manipur and Assam, current levels of violence give us cause for concern. In addition, extortion and intimidation have become a menace across most of the states in the region. It should be possible, I believe, to bring about a substantial improvement in the situation if there can be better security management,” he said.
The prime minister also called upon the police chiefs of the seven northeastern states to achieve higher levels of professionalism from the forces they commanded.
“Firm but compassionate handling of law and order matters can certainly bring about substantial improvement in the prevailing state of affairs.”
Chidambaram had pointed to the large scale diversion of development funds to militants, giving them easy access to critical resources and helping them recruit new cadres as well as procure arms.
