Naxalites plan October rally in Delhi

NEW DELHI, May 28: Naxalite groups are planning a massive show of strength in the Capital in October.

The decision to hold a rally in Delhi was taken in March when the top brass of various Naxalite organisations met to plan the "non-violent" campaign. Though the rally has been called to protest upcoming special economic zones on agriculture land all over the country, its basic agenda is to get media attention and to display its strength at the national level. Documents seized by security forces during various raids in Jharkhand and Chattisgah revealed the three-tier strategy of Naxalite groups. "First they will launch/ intensify their operations in areas where SEZs are coming up through their frontal organisations. These organisations will recruit locals for their violent activities," said a senior official of a security agency which seized the incriminating documents.

"Subsequently, the Naxalite groups will set up an overground workers' network in the Hindi belt, mainly Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Uttaranchal so that they can hit the headlines in Delhi," the official said. Thirdly and most important, they will make their presence felt in the Capital in a big way in October.

"The preparations for the October rally have begun in a big way with Naxalite groups giving district commanders six months to plan it," the official said.
