No need of provincial ban on Maoists: Buddhadeb
Updated on Jun 24, 2009 11:46 pm IST
Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, Chief Minister of West Bengal, said on Tuesday that there was no need for his government to announce a separate ban on Maoists after the central government's recent order. The central government on Monday banned and formally labeled Maoist insurgents a terrorist group, hoping it would give security forces more enforcement powers after the rebels briefly created a liberated zone in West Bengal.
