Terrorism within the country

Naxal attacks are rampant at various parts of the country as Lok Sabha election is in progress. The rate of naxal attacks is rising in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Bihar with naxal capturing even trains carrying hundreds of passengers. . Naxalites nom de plume Maoists are putting unforeseen hardships to people for what is called a never realizable dream and our police force see a hard time to tackle the situation. When police is equipped only with lathis, naxalites carry AK 47 guns and eve rocket launchers. They have taken resolute to topple the entire election mechanism in many parts of the country. They have huge amount of explosives and are able to kill hundreds of innocent citizens.

Obviously “Maoist terror” has become a serious threat to the internal security of India. Nevertheless for Congress or BJP, Maoist menace is not their head ache and Left comrades even see Maoists as their friends. The strategy so far taken by the country’s Home Department is inadequate to control Maoist menace. And what is actually needed is a joint action against Maoists by all the governments of the affected states. It is estimated that about a dozen states in the country are under naxalite terror.
