**The Indian government has obtained a leaked report that reveals the strategy of the country’s Maoist insurgents.**The report is formulated by the group’s top policy-making body, the politburo.
It calls for attacks on Indian security forces and efforts to stop multi-national corporations from taking over mines in central and eastern India.
Maoist violence affects a third of all Indian districts. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh calls it the single biggest threat to India’s security.
Calling upon Maoist cadres to mobilise and carry out “tactical” operations against India’s security forces, the 20-page document says that Mr Singh’s government is preparing to destroy their resistance.
Accusing the government of linking up with the “imperialist” United States, the Maoist cadres have been asked to meticulously plan attacks against symbols of government and to “seize” political power.
Warning its cadres against getting complacent, the politburo says that India is getting assistance from America and that it should learn from the failure of the Tamil Tigers (LTTE) in Sri Lanka.
It says the LTTE’s failure to understand the changing tactics of the security forces eventually led to their defeat.
Maoists argue that big industrial houses, like India’s Tata Group, are helped by the government in their attempts to wrest control of mines in eastern India.
The insurgents are calling upon the tribal population to participate in an armed struggle.
