New Delhi: Contrary to the UPA government’s claim that the Naxal growth is being contained, fresh statistics presented by security forces to home minister Rajnath Singh shows the Naxals has almost become a parallel force in the red zones.
One lakh Sangam cadres, 2,080 dalam members, more than two dozen platoons and companies led by 3,000 Naxalites with regular weapons and 3,000 with sophisticated weapons like LMGs, AK 47s, INSAS, SLR’s, mortars are part of a formidable Maoist army.
The reds have key links with PLA of Manipur, RPF and NSCN(I-M), the home ministry has told Mr Singh.
The note, prepared by the Union home ministry, also warns that Maoists will get further active in espousing the Kashmir cause and work for a strategic united front in its bid to counter the hard anti-Naxal push being planned by the new BJP government.
