The guerillas, who are waging an armed insurrection across 16 of India's 28 states, obtained minutes of a meeting, presided over by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that discussed tactics to deal with the insurgents. Those at the meeting, the Outlook magazine said, included the chief ministers of all states affected by the Maoist insurgency, along with senior intelligence and security officials. With intelligence and security officials expressing alarm at "a serious security lapse", the disclosures are galling for Dr Singh, adds Outlook magazine. The Indian Prime Minister, Dr. Man Mohan Singh has expressed concern about the challenge posed by the Maoist insurrection, describing it as the "biggest threat to the country's internal security".

The Naxalites it is believed are well-armed and disciplined, who operate in a scores of Indian states whose connections are well deep inside Nepal as well.The magazine quotes a senior intelligence officer as saying: "It's clear the Maoists have access to secret information and plans ... no wonder there hasn't been much success in our operations against them." With the Maoists in Nepal government the Indian naxals are sure to exploit the benefits their way.
