Does maoist stands for Mao ideology sorry but is it something related to China's mao ideology?

Does maoist stands for Mao ideology sorry but is it something related to China's mao ideology?

The Maoists are commanded by Mao Zedong, the founder and Great Helmsman of the People's Republic of China. They seek to create the People's Republic of India. As I understand it, the PRI would not have the northeast (forget about Southern Tibet) and New Delhi / Haryana would belong to Pakistan, so PRI is much smaller than the present republic of india.

Cop among 5 hurt in clashes

SRINAGAR, Mar 6: Five persons including a police constable were injured in ding dong battles that followed after a joint party of Rashtriya Rifles (RR) and Special Operations Group (SOG) arrested a suspected militant in the Lolab area of the frontier district of Kupwara this morning.

The SOG and RR personnel used force against the stone throwing people, who were protesting against the arrest of a suspected militant in the area. Senior civil and police officials rushed to the spot to restore order in the area.

Reports reaching here said that 18 RR and SOG Varnaw-Lolab cordoned off the Kawari village in Lolab area of Kupwara district and arrested suspected militant Javed Ahmad Chichi son of Faqir Mohammad Chichi.

Residents of the village protested against the arrest and some of them used the Public Address System of a local masjid and asked the people of the nearby villages to block the road and protest against the arrest. The protesters raised slogans against the RR and SOG personnel and accused them of harassment. They were joined by the people of the other areas and the situation became tense in the entire Lolab area.

However, despite the stiff resistance, the RR and SOG personnel arrested Javed and started moving back. On their return, as the RR and SOG personnel reached near the Kurhama crossing, a group of infuriated youth pelted stones on them. The SOG and RR personnel charged batons and gun ***** on the stone throwing protesters.

The SOG and RR personnel beat up local Sarpanch identified as Mohammad Akhtar Chichi. Akhtar tried his best to persuade the RR and SOG personnel to release Javed. They beat him up and this led to more anger among the protesters. The local police also tried their best to defuse the situation but they too failed in their efforts.

As the word about the incident reached the district headquarters, some of the senior administrative and police officials rushed to the spot and defused the situation. It was only after their intervention that the situation became normal in the area and order was restored.

Due to the stiff opposition, the RR and SOG personnel were forced to set free Javed Ahmad Chichi and it was only after his release that people gave in, but not before injuries to four civilians and a police constable. The injured police constable has been identified as Mohammad Yusuf while as the injured civilians are Mohammad Akhtar Chichi, Ghulam Haider, Latief Piswal and Yasmeen Mughal.

Protesters demand the release of alleged Naxal sympathizers

MANGALORE: Karnataka Rajya Adivasi Hakkugala Samanvaya Samiti (ABSS) state convener P Bharath demanded that journalism student Vittal Malekudiya and Linganna, who were recently arrested on the charges of abetting naxals, should be released immediately as "the duo did not support naxalism."

He was addressing a protest organized by tribals led by ABBS, DYFI, Karnataka Rajya Dalitha Hakkugala Horata Samiti and other organizations at Belthangadi taluk office on Wednesday. Bharath said that Vittal was an active member of ABSS, which opposed naxal movement. "The boy, who has 100 per cent attendance in the university, was sent to jail without any reason. Those anti-naxal force cops, who put him behind the bars, should be punished," Bharath demanded. "The government, instead of implementing the Forest Rights Act, is denying the fundamental rights of tribals by not providing basic facilities to them," he added.

DYFI district president Muneer Katipalla said that a state-wide protest will be launched if Vittal was not released within a week.

Meanwhile, SFI district committee members along with journalism students of Mangalore University submitted a memorandum to inspector general of police Pratap Reddy demanding the release of Vittal on Wednesday.

Civilian injured in Maoist attack in Bihar

Maoists strike in Rohtas, flee Banka
RAMASHANKAR
Patna, March 11: A 22-year-old engineering student was today injured by a stray bullet when alleged Maoists opened fire at Habbipur village under Rajpur police station in Rohtas district.

Ravi Kumar, a BTech student of a Ranchi-based engineering college, was immediately rushed to a hospital in Varanasi, about 35km from Rohtas, where he is struggling for life in the intensive care unit.

About six members of an armed squad of the Maoists attacked the relatives of Rajpur block pramukh (head) Rajendra Singh about 8am. The assailants had gathered at the house of Rajesh Sharma, an active member of the now disbanded Maoist Communist Centre, for Holi.

Rajesh had reportedly sought the help of the squad members to settle a land dispute with a fellow villager, Lalan Singh. Rajendra had, however, intervened and pacified the two rival groups. This did not go down well with Rajesh’s aides.

They intercepted Rajendra’s family members while they were on their way to the local market. Rajesh’s accomplices abused, threw stones at Rajendra’s kin and fired indiscriminately. Ravi, who had gone to the market to buy vegetables, was hit by a stray bullet fired by the rebels.

Bikramganj sub-divisional police officer (SDPO) Pramod Kumar said Ravi was rushed to a Varanasi hospital. “Police seized 15 cartridges of .315 bore and an empty cartridge during a search at Rajesh’s house,” he said.

The SDPO confirmed that Rajesh was associated with a Maoist outfit and had called its cadres to his residence to settle score with some Habbipur residents. “Raids are on to arrest the assailants. Rajesh and his family members are absconding after the incident,” the police officer told The Telegraph over phone from Rohtas district.

Sources said Ravi had come to his native village from Ranchi to celebrate Holi. His elder brother, Atul Kumar, said doctors attending to Ravi said his condition was critical.

The incident has triggered panic in the area, as the victim and the assailants belonged to two castes.

“Additional police force has been deployed to avert any untoward incident,” a senior officer posted at the state police headquarters said.

Arrests

Three persons were arrested in Patna on Saturday in connection with the murder of a student in the state capital on March 8.

Medical infrastructure suffers in Maoist infested area in Orissa

Rayagada, Mar 11 (ANI): The increased Maoist menace in Orissa's koraput District has led to the lack of availability of hospitals for the local tribal populace residing in the area, compelling them to travel long distances to avail such facilities.

The tribals in the district are facing great difficulties to avail themselves of medical attention, as there is a lack of hospitals in the area.

The worst affected are the Nagarpatna and Bandhugaon blocks, which is far away from the district medical hospital at Koraput town.

The medical system that was earlier prevalent here has collapsed due to the increased Maoist insurgency in the area.

Most of the villagers from this area are now going to the Rayagada medical hospital, which is in the neighbouring Rayagada District that falls nearer to the area.

The worst hit are pregnant women of the area, who have to travel quite a distance to reach the hospitals.

Nabkishore Kundu, a doctor at the Rayagada hospital, said that they were facing a lot of problems due to the overflowing number of people who were coming in for treatment.

"From Nagarpatna block and Bandhugaon block, most of the delivery cases are coming at crucial moments to this hospital. In our hospital, the bed capacity is very less and they are overburdening our work. And because the distance from Nagarpatna and Bandhugaon block to Koraput is far, that is why people are coming to Rayagada for their treatment," said Kundu.

The tribal people of the area say that due to Maoist fear no doctor wants to come here and no proper public transport system exists.

"No public transport system is working properly in our area due to the Maoist menace. People are scared to go to that side. At the time of emergency also we don't get any vehicle to commute. Doctors also are not coming here due to the Maoists' fear," said Maheswar Bania, a local villager.

The Maoist insurgency has gripped nearly a third of the country in its violent tentacles, spreading into the interiors of 20 of India's 28 states. This comes despite strong measures initiated by the federal government in eradicating the ultras. (ANI)
