Terror alliances on the rise in N-E - PLA-Maoist ties sets off alarm in Delhi
The Telegraph | New Delhi, Oct. 15
The blossoming relationship between Northeast militant groups and outfits based in other parts of the country is setting off alarm bells here, as such “strategic relationships” are extremely undesirable from the Centre’s point of view.
Documents containing evidence culled in the past two weeks revealed that ties between the Manipur-based People’s Liberation Army/Revolutionary People’s Front (PLA/RPF) and CPI (Maoist) had grown for two years to become a full-fledged strategic relationship.
The PLA has bagged an order for rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) and for 1,000 more weapons from the Maoists, who, in turn, have not only found guerrilla trainers and suppliers of world-class communication equipment in the PLA, but also see the benefits that could accrue from the Manipuri militants’ Chinese links.
PLA trainers were also in Jharkhand from August last year, imparting a two-month module on combat and communication training to Maoist cadres of Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The training sessions were held in the jungles along the Jharkhand-Orissa border, sources said.
An internal report of the government of India claims that the outfit sees the front to be an instrument to “counter the psychological war” of the government against resistance movements. “The Maoists have also agreed to the RPF/PLA proposal of maintaining contact and collaborating in foreign countries,” the report states. link:
