External Assistance to Naxalites

There is no evidence / input available to suggest that any international conspiracy is being hatched in any Left Wing Extremist (LWE) infested areas in the country or any external assistance being provided to Left Wing Extremists in terms of financial aid and weapons. However, the recovery of arms and ammunitions of foreign origin from the LWE cadres in different encounters and operations is an indication of the fact that they are procuring weapons from different sources. The possibility of some front organizations of the CPI (Maoist) clandestinely getting foreign funds cannot be ruled out.
