CPI (Maoist) plans to make South Asia hub of revolution
Rakesh K Singh | New Delhi 3 Mar 08 (http://dailypioneer.com/indexn12.asp?main_variable=NATION&file_name=nt1%2Etxt&counter_img=1)
The Communist Party of India (Maoist), the key outfit responsible for ultra-Left extremism across the Compact Revolutionary Zone encompassing a corridor from Andhra Pradesh to Nepal with parts of Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal in its ambit, plans to make South Asia a "Cyclonic Centre of World Revolution."
In order to carry forward its international agenda, the outfit has established links with Revolutionary International Movement (RIM) and Coordination Committee of Maoist Parties and Organisations of South Asia (CCOMPOSA), besides links with the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist).
With a view to further intensify its activities, the outfit has shown an increasing tendency to make a common cause with secessionist and fundamentalist organisations, including fringe Islamist groups. The outfit may actively participate in joint programmes with the CPN (M), the Communist Party of Philippines (CPP), the Communist Party of Turkey Marxist and Leninist (TKP/ML) and other like-minded Maoist parties of the world, a senior intelligence official said.
The intelligence agencies have reliable input that KLO and ULFA, the insurgent outfits active in the North East, have joined hands with the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). The security agencies suspect that the CPN (M) may extend a hand to the ULFA/KLO in their anti-India activities. A Maoist unit named Bhutan Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist) has been established in the Bhupali (Bhutanese of Nepalese origin) camps in Nepal under the aegis of the CPN (M), the official elaborated.
There is apprehension among the security agencies that this unit could cause considerable problems in the border areas. In the hilly jungle areas of Dooars and Terai, border management for both Indo-Nepal and Indo-Bhutan borders should be considerably upgraded to deal with the emerging situation effectively, said a senior Union Home Ministry official.
The latest documents suggest that the CPI (Maoist) has cadre strength of 11,455 with another 50,000 over ground cadre. Its weaponry includes AK series rifles, light machine guns (LMGs), rifles, grenades and mortars among others.
The CPI (Maoist) came into being on September 21, 2004 with the merger of the Maoist Communist Centre of India (MCC) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist). Following the merger of the two outfits to form the CPI (Maoist), the movement gained strength both militarily and politically, and 34 Maoist outfits currently have presence in 186 districts across 13 States and violence reported from 91 districts last year.
The Maoist outfits have upgraded weaponry and technology with significant use of remote control and timer devices. The outfits are using improvised rockets and have indigenously developed mortars.
