Indian Maoist rebels loot bank

GSBot · Oct 20th, 2009, 11:58 AM

Dozens of Maoist rebels have attacked a bank and a police station in the town of Sankrail in the Indian state of West Bengal, police say. At least one police officer was killed and two were kidnapped by rebels during the raid.

The rebels stormed into the area on motorcycles in what correspondents say is the one of the most audacious Maoist attacks in the region since June.

More than 6,000 people have been killed during a 20-year Maoist insurgency.

The rebels say they are fighting for the rights of the poor and landless.

In Tuesday's violence, officials said the Maoists attacked the bank and looted it in broad daylight.

As bank staff called for help from a nearby police station, another Maoist group stormed the police station, killing the duty police officer.

Naxals should be treated differently: Chidambaram - India - The Times of India

[...]

"Intelligence inputs have indicated forced recruitment of children by naxals in south Chhattisgarh. Naxalities are also exhorting the villagers to provide five boys or girls per village for recruitment in their armed squad," an offficial spokesman said in a release.

"The Government condemns this despicable act on the part of naxals and reiterates its commitment to control the diabolical activities of naxals," he said.

The Centre is currently firming up plans to counter the Naxal problem which has affected 20 states.

Let's take it a step further. India and all weather friend merge. Whoops...where will the western border be?

And let's take one more baby step .

What is the state if Islam in China? What will be the state of Islam in a China India merger with the western border stretching to Iran?

chew on that a bit.

Meanwhile Mr.Chidambaram knows exactly what to do about the naxals. Fortunately for you, he will save you that nightmare scenario.

Though not the focus of our discussion, but actually that could be a blessing in disguise. Why I never thought about that? It could bring all the three countries together. Pak, China, Ind working together peacfully, wow!

Which is not possible as long as the extremist hindus are running the policy making.

So the focus here is that finally "some" indians are coming out of this state of denial and admitting that there are indigenous terrorist groups operating in india. There are all sort of them... Hindu extremists, Muslim rebels, Maoist rebele and God knows who else. The list is pretty long.

Wow, you guys are so desperate to prove something which you yourself dont believe in.
Anyway, assuming these organization has a large base, how does it effect you or Pakistan. How are you obsessed with it.

I am just wondering why the Indian government has ****ed over these poor and impoverished people for so many years?

And 20 states? God damn.

Actually iam asking if this area said in the NDTV yesterday is true or not? but i guess you think Naxals don't exist!!! good for you....

on the other hand, they are making news every day... i guess that is just media stunt, Naxals or any other rebel movement in India does not exists.. now you can have some sleep, and let us "dream" about it..

So far your only making me sad.

Jalaluddin · Oct 30th, 2009, 07:33 PM

You're sad because you are only used muslims that complain about India. You fail to understand this has nothing to do muslims or Islam. It is about India and Pakistan as nations.
