Visakhapatnam (AP): The Communist Party of India (CPI) on Saturday asked the Centre and state governments to lift ban on Maoists.
“It is unfortunate that the government has been treating the Left wing extremists as law and order problem, instead of a socio–economic problem,” CPI national executive member K Narayana told reporters here.
According to Narayana, the Left-wing extremism was born with an ideology for uplifting the poor and the downtrodden, and that it could not be stopped through a barrel.
“The Union government should treat the Left party extremism as a socio–economic problem and start discussing issues pertaining to lands and few others which are more important,” he said.
