To divide ranks of cops,Naxals appeal to their tribal links

Equating British imperialists with the looters of present India Manmohan Singh,Sonia Gandhi,P Chidambaram,Raman Singh,Ashok Chavan and Mahendra Karma (the Congress leader from Bastar supporting the anti-Maoist movement Salwa Judum) the committee said: You have been sent to fight a war against the poor,exploited people in Bastar. But you are our own people,from amongst us. Your uniform is just about your livelihood. Whats the meaning of such a life?

The CPI (Maoist) said it would welcome them back with open arms. Point your guns in the direction of exploiters,looters,fraudsters,hoarders,those selling off the countrys resources and those who have compromised the countrys identity and self-respect. If you cant leave your job due to some compulsion,at least refuse to work in these areas.

It isnt the first time the Naxals are using such a tactic,having tried it earlier in 2002-04. Vijay Raman,chief commandant of the anti-Naxal offensive,said the move indicated the impact the security forces were making on the ground.
