Abductions, extortions in NE worry PM
Assam Tribune | Kalyan Barooah | New Delhi, April 16
Admitting that the situation in some of the North Eastern States continues to remain complex, Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh red flagging ‘pilferage of development funds’ by the militants, observed that much remains to be done to eliminate extortions and kidnappings. In what should come as a warning to the Chief Ministers of the North Eastern States for adopting a complacent attitude towards curbing illegal acts like extortions and kidnappings, the Prime Minister left none of the attending Chief Ministers of the region in doubt that he was unhappy with the state of affairs.
Meanwhile, in his opening remarks, Union Home Minister, P Chidambaram said Assam has emerged as the new theatre of Maoist activity. There are also inputs about the links of CPI (Maoist) with insurgent groups in Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh.
The decline in the overall number of casualties among civilians and security forces in Left Wing Extremists (LWE)-affected districts may give a false sense of assurance, but that is not the true picture. Two States are very badly affected, four States are affected and three States are within the arc of influence of the CPI (Maoist).
