The admission comes days after Home Minister P Chidambaram mentioned about the Nepalese Maoists’ possible involvement in arms supply to the Naxals.
Acknowledging that exchanges exist between the Maoists and the Naxals in India, a senior Standing Committee member of the UCPN-M, C P Gajurel, was quoted on Tuesday by Rajdhani daily as saying: “We have extended our full support and cooperation to the Indian Maoists, who are launching armed revolt.”
Talking to pro-Maoist journalists in the Bara district of southern Nepal on Sunday, Gajurel, however, did not elaborate on the kind of support extended to the Naxals.
