Home ministry confirms Maoists' entry into North-East
TNN | Feb 24, 2012, 04.51AM IST | GUWAHATI :
The Union ministry of home affairs has confirmed the entry of Maoists into the northeast and their association with several militant outfits of the region, mainly the PLA of Manipur. The MHA document released as 'FAQ on Maoists in India' said, "They (Maoists) are making incursions into Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, which will have serious long-term strategic implications."
The ministry said front organizations, which are off-shoots of the parent Maoist party, profess a separate existence to escape legal liability and carry out propaganda for the party, raise funds for the insurgency, assist the cadres in legal matters and also provide safe houses and shelters to underground cadres. The ministry said, "Functionaries of front organizations provide intellectual veneer to the inherent violence in Maoist ideology. They sanitize the bloodletting and attempt to make the Maoist world-view palatable to urban audiences and the media."
The MHA added that the Maoists brainwash and indoctrinate young children and threaten poor Adivasi parents, who usually prefer to part with their girl child. "This is the reason behind the presence of large number of women Maoists who are also pushed to engage themselves with the security forces."
