CG polls: Shah asks Rahul to clear stand on Raj Babbar's Naxalism remark

Latching on to the remark of Congress leader Raj Babbar on the Naxal movement in poll-bound Chhattisgarh, BJP chief Amit Shah Sunday asked Congress president Rahul Gandhi to make clear his party's stand on Naxalism.

Shah also claimed that Babbar had described Naxalism as a "revolution".

Addressing a public meeting in Ambagarh Chowki town in Rajnandgaon district, Shah said, "A Congress leader yesterday described Naxalism as a revolution and said that Maoists were engaged in revolution.

"I want to ask the Congress chief to make his stand clear on Naxalism. Your leader called it a revolution. What is your stand?"
When Babbar was asked whether he was suggesting Naxals were revolutionaries, he had said, "I want to clarify that I said the issue can be solved through talks with those who call themselves revolutionaries by indulging in acts of terrorism."
