Orissa

The killing of Comrade Ananda Masihoro and the violence against the poor tribals in the are by the Maoists once again shows the bankrupt politics of the Maoists who target CPI(M) leaders who are fighting against exploitation of the poor. The CPI(M) expresses its condolences to the bereaved family. It demands that the Central Government deploy adequate security forces in the border areas of the affected states in coordination with the state Governments.
