India likely to sensitise EU, other countries about Naxals

The MHA will provide MEA all supporting documents about the terror being carried out by the Naxals in nine states

Press Trust of India New Delhi
India is likely to sensitise European Union and a few other countries about the violence perpetrated by Naxals and ensure the rebels do not get support from organisations based in those countries.

The Union Home Ministry will soon approach the Ministry of External Affairs to sensitise EU, countries like Britain, Brazil, Canada and Philippines about the violence being carried out by CPI(Maoist) which killed more than 8,100 people since 2001.

The move came after CPI(Maoist) had recently thanked more than two dozen organisations in Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland, Holland, Sweden, Italy, Norway, Spain, Britain, Brazil, Canada and Philippines who took part the November 24, 2012 conference in Hamburg supporting of the "people's war in India".
 
The MHA will provide MEA all supporting documents about the terror being carried out by the Naxals in nine states, which resulted killing, maiming of people, destruction of public and private properties, forests and natural resources to inform the concerned countries.

Following an appeal of the International Committee to Support of the People's War in India and the Hamburg-based League against Imperialist Aggression, people from different parts of the world attended the conference to exchange views, support the "struggle of the Indian people against imperialism, semi-feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism".

More than 300 people have attended the conference.

Government has termed the activities of Naxals as serious impediment to the nation-building process as they have destroyed thousands of development and infrastructure facilities and kidnapped proactive, sincere district collectors to prevent development from reaching the poor.
