Referring to recent terror attacks in several states and in the national capital, the communist leader said: 'The attacks were mainly because of a weak intelligence set up. It must be strengthened to curb terrorism.'
He lashed out at Chhattisgarh government backed civil militia movement Salwa Judum, launched in June 2005 against Maoist insurgents in the state's southern revolt-hit mineral rich and forested Bastar region.
'Salwa Judum is not the solution to insurgency. Only the social and economic development in revolt-hit pockets can improve situation,' Karat said, suggesting 'the co-ordination among Maoist-hit states can also be handy'.
