Maoists get arms from abroad: Chidambaram
By V S Chandrasekar
New Delhi, Oct 24 (PTI) Disclosing that Maoists were acquiring arms
through Bangladesh, Myanmar and possibly Nepal, Home Minister P
Chidambaram today nonetheless told them to "simply halt the violence"
so that government could start talks with them.
There was no no evidence of any money flowing in from abroad to the
Maoists but "there is certainly evidence of weapons being smuggled
from abroad through Myanmar or Bangladesh" and possibly Nepal, he
said.
During a wide-ranging interview to PTI, Chidambaram firmly refused to
respond to the comments of Maoist leader Kishenji, who had laid down
certain conditions for a dialogue with the government. "He is the
leader of an organisation declared as unlawful."
The Home Minister affirmed that the government was not not insisting
on the Maoists laying down arms as a pre-condition for talks.
