Naxals having close links with Philippines, Turkey groups

New Delhi, Feb 21,2012:  The CPI(Maoist) is having close links with Maoist organisations in Philippines and Turkey and it has become a member of an anti-India international underground group. According to a Home Ministry report, the CPI (Maoist) is also having close fraternal ties with many Northeast India based insurgent groups, especially the PLA of Manipur, and frequently expressed their solidarity with the Kashmiri terrorist groups. The CPI (Maoist) is having close links with foreign Maoist organisations in Philippines, Turkey, etc. The outfit is also member of the 'Coordination Committee of Maoist Parties and Organisations of South Asia (CCOMPOSA), which includes Nepalese Maoists, the report said. Most of these outfits have linkages with various external forces inimical to India. These ties are part of the CPI(Maoists) 'Strategic United Front' against the Indian state. This comes two days after Home Minister P Chidambaram expressed concern over growing Maoist influence in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh and their links with insurgent outfits of the Northeast as well as Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI. The Home Ministry report also said in states like Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, the Maoists have formed 'Bal Dastas' comprising young children. The idea is to brain-wash and indoctrinate young children to Maoist ideology. Most parents do not want to part with their children. But faced with coercion and threats, many poor Adivasi parents prefer to part with the girl child. This inhuman practice by the Maoists is the reason behind large number of young girls/women being present among the Maoist cadres. They are also pushed to the forefront of engagements with the security forces, it said.
