(a) whether there are reports of nexus between naxals and hostile foreign agencies
/countries including Pakistan and China and assistance in terms of weaponry, finance and
training from the same sources;
(b) if so, the details thereof; and
(c) the reaction of the Government thereto?
MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI R.P.N. SINGH)
(a) & (b): There is no direct evidence available to suggest that the Left Wing Extremists
have nexus with hostile foreign agencies including Pakistan and China. However, the recovery
of arms and ammunitions of foreign origin from the Left Wing Extremists in different encounters
/ operations is an indication of the fact that they are procuring weapons from different sources.
Moreover, the possibility of some front organizations of the CPI(Maoist) clandestinely getting
foreign funds cannot be ruled out. Inputs also indicate that some senior cadres of the Communist
Party of the Philippines imparted training to the cadres of CPI(Maoist) in 2005 and 2011.
(c): The Government is closely monitoring the situation and taking appropriate action as
required.
