Editorial Viewpoints

• Stan Swamy was being tried for his links with Naxalites. Urban Naxal Swamy was also accused of plotting the assassination of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Apparently, the firm in the US is trying to make such a claim after 2 years to falsify the action of the investigative agencies and to support the Naxalites !
• The claim by an American firm proves that Naxalite activities in India have international support !
