MHA to name its Naxal wing as Left Wing Extremism division
New Delhi: Days after assuming power, the Narendra Modi government
has decided to change the name of its Naxal wing to Left Wing Extremism
division. The decision has been taken after discussions with all
stakeholders including the Prime Minister and Home Minister Rajnath
Singh. As Naxal is a very restricted term, the new government wants to
give a much broader nomenclature, a senior Home Ministry official said
on Friday. A notification to this effect is likely to be issued within a
few days. Meanwhile, the government has decided to send 10,000
addtional paramilitary personnel to Chhattisgarh to augment the forces
deployed there. There are around 40,000 paramilitary forces currently
deployed in Chhatisgarh.
