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

indian economy. no_email@example.com (author) Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:55:52 GMT http://www.merisarkar.com/news/Maoists want to overthrow Indian state by 2050 Home Secretary
