Maoist violence has pushed back country’s growth: MHA
The MHA annual report for 2022-23 noted that it is necessary that the Maoists to recognise the fact that the socio-economic and political dynamics and aspirations of 21st-century India are far removed from the Maoist worldview
Maoist violence has pushed back the development process in many parts of the country by decades which needs to be recognised by the civil society and the media to pressure the Naxals into eschewing violence and joining the mainstream, the Home Ministry said in its annual report.
The MHA annual report for 2022-23 also noted that it is necessary that the Maoists to recognise the fact that the socio-economic and political dynamics and aspirations of 21st-century India are far removed from the Maoist worldview. “The Government of India has been addressing the menace holistically by adopting the multi-pronged approach and the results have been encouraging.
The Left Wing Extremism (LWE) theatre has witnessed a consistent decline in violence and considerable shrinkage in geographical spread since 2014,” the report said. The ministry said it is clear that the Maoists do not want root causes like underdevelopment addressed in a meaningful manner since they resort to targeting school buildings, roads, railways, bridges, health infrastructure and communication facilities, in a major way. “The Maoists wish to keep the population in their areas of influence marginalised to perpetuate their outdated ideology.
Consequently, the process of development has been set back by decades in many parts of the country under LWE influence. “This needs to be recognised by civil society and the media to build pressure on the Maoists to eschew violence, join the mainstream and recognise the fact that the socio-economic and political dynamics and aspirations of 21st-century India are far removed from the Maoist worldview,” the report noted. It also said that the government was optimistic about eradicating the Left Wing Extremism problem through the strategic vision.
The MHA report said the Union government monitors the left-wing extremism situation on a regular basis at the level of the Union Home Minister, Union Home Secretary and Special Secretary/Additional Secretary. A review group, chaired by the Cabinet secretary, also reviews the left-wing extremism situation and the progress of development schemes in affected areas through meetings and video conferences with the representatives of central ministries and departments concerned and the state governments.
