He is right. Maoists are not terrorists. They do not target civilians. So who exactly are they terrorizing? A terrorist is someone who targets civilians deliberately, in a bid to terrorize a civilian population. - Like 26/11, Kashmir, etc. Attacking security forces for political gain is not terrorism.
When innocent tribals are randomly killed after being labelled as police informers..u still dont get to realise that this is not terrorism.
and please explain how this is vote bank politics? Whose vote will does he expect to win after uttering such a statement? The Tribals? So i guess, you all agree that the Naxals have significant support among the tribals, and are not just supporting them because they are terrorized?
Vote bank politics in the sense that these Maoists vote for that particular party in the local elections.Case in point - Mamata Bannerjee.
PS - people, stop comparing TTP to the Maoists in India. Completely different entities.
Completely different entities.But similar goals - Overthrowing the democratically elected state by armed violence.
p.s.: I dont completely fault u..I think u must be educated in JNU where the violence unleashed by these Maoists are romanticised as legitimate uprising by the so called "Intellectuals" and "activists"
