Maoists condemn aid given to CRPF men by Akshay, Saina

Senior police officials suspect that the pamphlet, which also mentions alleged attacks on “Dalits and Muslims” by gau rakshaks, may have emerged now, but was likely written in March itself, before the second attack in Sukma in April, which left 25 personnel dead. Senior police officers said that the press note revealed “Maoist doublespeak” and their “lack of humanity.”

“In an audio press release after the Sukma attack, their spokesperson Vikalp had said that the forces were not their enemies. Many Maoist leaders have in the past said that they sympathise with security personnel, as they come from poor families. So what is their problem if bereaved families get some financial assistance? This is clear hypocrisy,” a senior officer said.
