It is high time the naxal problem is addressed and some sort of progress is made in general towards resolving the issue. Internal security problems are far worse many a time than external ones.

The Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati this time not only took time in asking her Food Processing minister Anand Sen Yadav, allegedly involved in the kidnapping of a 24 year old girl Shashi from Faizabad, to resign but also recommended a CBI probe to investigate the matter which rocked the state assembly proceedings on November 6, 2007.
Now-a-days some media and politicians show the culprit's true face to the public. Now main political parties started to use Naxalites and Maoists to demolish their opponents. It is a
