A day after an all-party resolution failed to term Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres as terrorists due to left's opposition, the Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde on June 11 said Maoists were indeed terrorists and underlined that the way the Maoists had killed innocent people in Chhattisgarh on May 25 showed the terror face of the Maoist movement, reports The Times of India. Referring to the Mahendra Karma s killing, Shinde said, A person was fired bullets 74 times (on Karma's body who died in the attack) and stabbed 75 times. Can you say it is a simple thing? Is it not terror? It is a terror act. He was responding to why the all-party resolution did not mention Naxalism [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] as terrorism in its resolution in as many words.
