#The Union home ministry has directed intelligence wings of states and also central intelligence agencies to track the activities of the front organisations of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) closely and gather evidence against them.

#The war on Red Terror is no longer limited to remote jungles in faroff districts as urban Maoists have become a clear and present danger. Maoist front organsiations, functioning far from their strongholds in the jungle tracts of central India, have succeeded in penetrating urban India and have managed to give a slip to intelligence agencies for some years. The government is now planning a crackdown on them.
A new policy drafted by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to combat Red terror also talks of the threat posed by these organisations that need to be dealt with strongly. A note on the policy says that such "front organisations" of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) are active in 21 states of the country. Sources say the Union home ministry has directed intelligence wings of states and also central intelligence agencies to track the activities of these organisations closely and gather evidence against them.
There are 128 such organisations that are on the radar of intelligence agencies for their links with the red rebels. "These organsiations carry out over ground agitational activities in an attempt to expand the mass base of the party and prepare the stage for armed insurrection," the note on the new policy says.
Home Ministry officials say that cracking down on such organisations is a priority. Intelligence reports suggest that many of these front organsiations are based in urban centres and provide logistical support to the movement ensuring fusion between overground and underground activities. They are responsible for recruitment of educated youth who go to field areas to keep the movement alive and play the role of ideologues, sources say.
#Teltumde has been charged with being an ‘urban naxal’- a new term coined by the right-wing which seeks to suggest that there are many people living in the cities who are secretly supporting seditious activities through their links with Maoists- specifically, the banned CPI (Maoists) who believe in the violent overthrow of the state establishment.

"Such organisations have been identified but we need to establish that these are the urban faces of the armed rebellion and not mere sympathisers," said a home ministry official.
The ministry has planned a crackdown on these organisations and asked intelligence agencies to bring out evidence of their support to the Maoists. Initiating strong action against them has been a problem area since they operate by making inroads into workers' groups, social forums and NGOs.
MaoistsIntelligence agencies stumbled upon the Maoist strategy of setting urban bases in cities like Delhi in 2009 with the arrest of Kobad Ghandy from Delhi.
"We want to treat them like Maoists, but that is only possible if we can get solid evidence that they are providing the armed rebels logistical support, carrying out recruitment drives in urban areas and providing financial assistance to them as well," the official added.
Other than states hit by left-wing extremism like Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh, these front organisations are also active in Delhi, Haryana, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand and Kerala.
Sources say several organisations in Delhi and the National Capital Region have been identified as Maoist front organisations.
According to the home ministry, Maoist ideologues in cities and towns have undertaken a concerted and systematic propaganda against the state. "In fact, it is these ideologues who have kept the Maoist movement alive and are in many ways more dangerous than the cadres of the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army," a home ministry report on Maoist activities in urban area says. The home ministry is of the opinion that the Maoists want to capture territory in the countryside and gradually encircle the urban centres.
Intelligence agencies stumbled upon the Maoist strategy of setting urban bases in cities like Delhi in 2009 with the arrest of Kobad Ghandy from Delhi.
Ghandy is allegedly responsible for recruiting people from urban centres. More recently, Hem Mishra, a student of Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi, was arrested by the Maharashtra Police last year for allegedly helping Maoists. Earlier this year, Delhi University professor G.N. Saibaba, belonging to the Revolutionary Democratic Front (RDF), was also arrested by Maharshtra police on allegations of supporting the rebels.
Intelligence inputs indicate that these groups are working with an objective to enter the cadres of workers' associations and work from within and motivate them to carry out violent protests. Intelligence sources say their cadres work in layers. The modus operandi of some of these groups is aimed at provoking violence. Starting from distributing material related to the Maoist ideology to holding rallies, they finally want to penetrate into protest demonstrations and trigger violence.

After fulfilling long-standing demand of the RSS-BJP by scrapping special status of Jammu and Kashmir, it seems Union Home Minister Amit Shah is turning his attention to Naxal insurgency.

The Narendra Modi government has been on a spree, in its second term, to fulfil long-pending demands of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Scrapping the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and a law to ban instant triple talaq among Muslims are the prime examples. Now whispers in the corridors of power signal that next in line could be the left-wing extremism or Naxalism as it is commonly known.
The RSS has been cautious in making its disapproval of Naxal insurgents despite various BJP governments at the Centre and in states taking strong measures to contain left-wing extremism. The RSS has favoured a multi-pronged strategy to counter Naxalism. In recent times, the RSS-BJP leadership has been extremely critical of what their supporters call "Urban Naxals".
In October last year, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat launched a book titled, Kaun Hain Urban Naxals (Who Are Urban Naxals). It was published by Vishwa Samvad Kendra, the communication and publication wing of the RSS. A month earlier, Bhagwat had released a booklet on Naxalism asking people to identify and expose "Urban Naxals". The right-wing supporters consider them as allies of Naxalism in the country.
The RSS has been trying to turn the red corridor into a saffron patch. A bigger mandate in the 2019 Lok Sabha has given the RSS-BJP leadership confidence that the people are ready for the change. Naxalism powered by an extreme left ideology also poses an obstacle to the RSS's ultimate objective of making a homogenous Indian society.
Scrapping of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and Articles 370 and 35A, and making instant triple talaq a punishable criminal offence, a part of the objective has been achieved. Naxalism becomes the automatic next target for the BJP-led government.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a meeting of chief ministers and police officers from 10 Naxal-affected states in this regard on Monday. Incidentally, this was the first meeting of state leaders called by Amit Shah since taking over as Union home minister in May this year.
The 10 Naxal violence-hit states are Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal, Bihar, Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. Chief ministers of all except West Bengal, Telangana and Maharashtra attended the meeting called to review the counter-Naxal strategy.

After the meeting, Amit Shah wrote on Twitter, "Had a very fruitful meeting with the CMs of the LWE affected states. Discussed several issues related to the security & development of these states. Left Wing Extremism is against the idea of democracy and under the leadership of PM @narendramodi we are committed to uproot it."
This move to review the Naxal situation and counter-Naxal operations come days after the government set up a panel to implement benefits, announced in July, for the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs). The beneficiary forces are CRPF, CISF, BSF, ITBP and SSB. They will be given non-financial functional upgradation (NFFU) grade and categorised as an organised group A service.
URBAN NAXAL
These are the forces that are deployed in anti-Naxal and counter-terror operations, and carry out counter-insurgency tasks besides guarding the international borders. This is significant to keep the forces fighting insurgents in good morale. More than 11,000 serving officers will be benefited from this move.
Though the government has claimed success in counter-Naxal operations in the past five years, there is speculation that the Union home ministry under Amit Shah is about to unveil a recast counter-Naxal plan.
VOICE AGAINST URBAN NAXALS- VIVEK AGNIHOTRI
According to home ministry statistics, there has been 43.4 per cent reduction in the incidents of Naxal violence under the Modi government. Compared to 8,782 cases of Naxal violence during 2009-13, only 4,969 cases were reported during 2014-18.
In terms of death of people including security personnel in Naxal violence, there has been a decline of 60 per cent since 2014. Against 3,326 people losing their lives during 2009-13 in Naxal violence, 1,321 people were killed during 2014-18 in similar incidents.
URBAN NAXAL
Left-wing extremism was reported in 60 districts in 2018. Of these, according to the government, only 10 districts account for two-thirds of the total Naxal violence. The government has rolled out a development plan with annual allocation of Rs 1,000 crore in Naxal-affected districts for building key infrastructure and public services.

Both Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, and triple talaq were mentioned in the BJP's election manifesto for 2019 Lok Sabha polls. Combating Naxalism was also part of the manifesto. During election campaign, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had told a rally at Sagar in Madhya Pradesh that he had taken a "vow to avenge every drop of martyrs" and for that "we have to free this country from the menace of terrorism and Naxalism."
