Maoists violence tops BJP agenda ahead of Parliament session | Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Arun Jaitley has said
the increasing Maoist menace would be priority subject of discussion during the
second leg of parliament's budget session, starting today. "Maoism is becoming
a big problem. There is a spurt of an increase in Maoist activities. There is
an urgent need for a discussion on this issue," Jaitley told media here. Jaitley
further said apart from tackling the rebels, the Prime Minister should also give
a clarification on the defence preparedness of the country, which has been under
scanner for some time. "A lot of questions have been raised on the defence preparedness
of the country and we would want that, if possible, honourable Prime Minister
could give a clarification on this issue and assure the nation of India 's defensive
might," he added. During the past months, the left-wing extremists have continued
to a scorn in the skin of the central and state governments by successfully masterminding
four high-profile abduction, including, two Italian tourists, Orissa's BJD legislator
Jhina Hikaka and Sukma District Collector Alex Paul Menon. Menon's abduction comes
well within one month of kidnapping of Hikaka whose release is being awaited amidst
continuous efforts by the state government.
