Midnapur (West Bengal), Apr 14 (ANI): Maoists, who claim to be the fighting for the welfare of the poor tribals, are actually the champions of barbarity and inhumanity. They have subjected the tribals to atrocities and have unleashed a reign of violence in Midnapur district of West Bengal. Tribeswomen narrate the horrific accounts of how their husbands were killed on mere suspicion of being police informants. There appears to be no end in sight to the plight of people living in Maoist strongholds. Anyone who chooses to support the government’s developmental schemes is killed. The families in these areas are grappling with abject poverty and live hand to mouth by working on their small pieces of land. The residents here want peace and prosperity and want to get benefits of the many government schemes launched exclusively to help them lead prosperous lives. For now, they live in a constant fear of death. Maoists, who say they are fighting for the rights of the poor and landless and want to overthrow the government, launched their insurgency in the 1960s and have been fighting from their jungle hideouts ever since.
