Security concerns: Union Home Ministry has sent alerts to all states The CPI-Maoist has finalised plans to raise 14
battalions of the People Liberation Army to counter the massive
concentration of security forces in Chhattisgarh. According
to a secret document of the CPI- Maoist, obtained by the Andhra Pradesh
Police, the PLA’s reorganisation, training, procurement and placement
of forces have been championed by prominent Central Committee (CC)
member and military commission second in command, Sonu alias Nambala
Keshav Rao.
The Maoist document dated June 28 has caused ripples
in the Union Home Ministry which has sent alerts to all state police
concerned to step up anti-Maoist efforts and act swiftly against all
front organizations.
The document surfaced after the week-long
10th anniversary celebrations of the CPI-Maoists, formed after the
merger of the People’s War Group (PWG) and the Maoist Communist Centre
(MCC) in the jungles of Chhattisgarh, and the meeting of the central
committee at an undisclosed location in Jammu and Kashmir last week.
The Maoist document also revealed plans to designate
several regions in AP, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha, Karnataka,
UP and Maharashtra as 'guerilla zones ' in the near future.
Specially
trained guerrillas will take position in these zones and continue
protecting the people’s agitations for land, it said.
“Maoist
dalams and action squads will wage war not only in their strongholds but
also in new areas to display their muscle and commitment,” it said.
The Maoists were said to be active in 18 districts with the recent committee formed in J&K as well.
The
58-year-old Nambala Keshav Rao, alias Basavaraj, accused in over two
dozen cases, also said to be accused no-2 in the last months Maoist
attack on the Congress convoy at Sukma, is the brain behind the Maoist
intelligence network. Gajjela Malla Raji Reddy, a member of the AP state
committee is said to be heading the cell.
Meanwhile, central
committee spokesperson Namburi Pratap has accused the police of
spreading false reports claiming CPI-Maoist top leaders like Ganapati
(secretary ), Katakam Ramakrishna and Sudarshan are sick. He said the
police report is a ploy to mislead cadres.
A press release by
Pratap, handed over to mediapersons at Paderu town in Visakhapatnam on
Wednesday, also indicated the revival of Maoist district committees in
Andhra Pradesh after a gap of eight years .
Reports from
Chhattisgarh also confirm that the Maoists have constituted ‘Baal Action
Teams’ to deploy school children in different capacities to counter the
build-up of security forces.
BAT, a Maoists specialized school
children unit which has been operational in Bastar region for the past
several months, would also help the Baal Sanghams (children
associations) and Chhatra Sanghams (student associations), that are
already functional in LWE areas, intelligence sources said.
Massive public protests taking place in Hong Kong over the past week are aimed at a new extradition law, known as the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance , that would see accused criminals extradited to mainland China to face prosecution. Hongkongers feel the law could be used to legalise the kidnapping of people who express views, and act in ways, that are not popular with the Chinese government . The same law could also be used to extradite tourists and visitors to China who are arrested on suspicion of having committed these crimes. Protesters want the bill scrapped. For now, debate of the legislation has been postponed . Organisers say one million people turned out for the protests, while police estimate the number was around 240,000. Either way, it was a significant number of Hong Kong’s 7.5 million population. Commentators on Twitter remarked on how well organised the protesters were. So, how did they do it? Protesters across the world are using n

In fact, no ideology has been as genocidal as Islam… Islam has killed more than 5 times the number of people killed by communism. In the total numbers we have updated over 80 million Christians killed by Muslims in 500 years in the Balkan states, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia. Then we have India. The official estimate number of Muslim slaughters of Hindus is 80 million. However, Muslim historian Firistha (b. 1570) wrote (in either Tarikh-i Firishta or the Gulshan-i Ibrahim) that Muslims slaughtered over 400 million Hindus up to the peak of Islamic rule of India, bringing the Hindu population down from 600 mil to 200 million at the time. With these new additions the Muslim genocide of non-Muslims since the birth of Mohammed would be over 669 million murders.
