Beltangady, Oct 1: There is a growing realization that the attacks on Christian prayer centres have helped naxals to spread their bases all over the district, with renewed vigour! Suspicions, that the naxals are spreading their tentacles further after the policemen are faced to concentrate on church security, have gained ground.

Anti-naxal force used to conduct combing operations to ensure that the influence of naxals does not spread and take people into confidence to make them realize the importance of staying away from naxal preaching. Since the last two weeks however, the policemen of the anti-naxal force have been drawn to provide security to prayer centres. Therefore, villages like Kuthloor, Savanalu, Shirlalu, Malavantige etc., are increasingly witnessing naxal movements,it is said. The naxals are reportedly contacting some trustworthy people from these villages for strengthening their network.

Similar situation exists in Karkala and Kundapur taluks too. Are the clashes between two communities help a third organization to reap benefits and rejuvenate its 'class struggle' again?
