PTI | New Delhi Posted online: April 21, 2008
The Opposition on Monday warned the UPA Government that Maoists' victory in Nepal polls could lead to the growth of the Naxal menace in the country, causing serious internal security problems.
Initiating discussion on the demands for grants of the Home Ministry, Yogi Adityanath (BJP) spoke of the growing "red danger" in the country following the former rebels' win in the Constituent Assembly election and the likely abolition of monarchy in the Himalayan country.
"If Indian Government could declare Indian Maoists and Naxalites as terrorists, why Maoists in Nepal are not declared a terrorist outfit?," he wondered, adding that naxals had spread their network dramatically during the past four years.
From some six to seven States covering 56 districts, naxalites have now extended their sway to half of the country by expanding to 175 districts, Adityanath said.
The firebrand BJP MP said that the Central Government, which was favouring Maoists in Nepal, should not forget that they are aiming for "'Maoist Land', which included large parts of India".
He said that while the Government hailed the outcome of elections in Nepal, it was also a "celebration time" for the naxalites in the country who have stepped up their operations.
Referring to a recent population census in Bangladesh, Adityanath claimed, "it has revealed that three crore Bangladeshis are missing from the country," and added that most of them have migrated to India and many were involved in terrorist activities as well.
While supporting the demand for grants amounting to about Rs 30,000 crore by the Ministry of Home Affairs, the BJP member alleged that Government was hiding the fact that a CRPF personnel recruited in J-K was involved in a recent attack on CRPF campus in Rampur in Uttar Pradesh.
