Maoists want to overthrow the govt in 40-50 years: GK Pillai
Union Home Secretary GK Pillai on Friday said that Maoists wants to overthrow Indian state in next 40-50 years through armed struggle.
This is also for the first time that a seniour government official has admitted that Maoists may be receiving help from ex soldiers.
While addressing a seminar in New Delhi he said, The Maoists might be getting the help of some former soldiers in carrying out subversive activities. "
However, he said that it is their long term plan which they want to achieve in next 40-50 years.
Mr. Pillai said, "The overthrow of the Indian state is not something they are willing to do tomorrow or the day after. Their strategy, according to a booklet they circulated, is that they are looking for at 2050, some documents say in 2060."
Union Home Secretary was candid enough to admit that in the past decade Maoists were slowly able to build their capabilities to wage armed struggle against the state.
He also admitted that now Maoists are in a position to harm many sectors of Indian Economy.
