naxals woo fairer sex

NAGPUR: When March 8 is being observed as International Women's Day, even the naxals will be singing paens for the fairer sex, to help increase their own tribe.

According to pamphlets distributed by suspected naxals - which have now landed in the office of senior police officers in Gondia - the ultras are now planning to appeal to the women folk in villages to join their "movement."

Police sources said that the pamphlets give descriptive details of women commanders from the naxal dalams who have been killed in encounters and champions their strive to fight for "women's rights."

Apparently, there is a shortage of cadres in the naxal dalams and it seems that the outfits are desperately wooing the poor tribals to join their fold. What's more, they want to increase their women's support base on March 8.
