Maoists oppressing tribal women: SP Dutt

Kothagudem: The CPI (Maoist) party leadership was committing various forms of harassment against tribal women and girls, alleged Superintendent of Police (SP) Sunil Dutt. In a statement here on Tuesday the SP said Maoists have no minimum etiquette, no moral attitude towards women and International Women’s Day. Describing the banned Maoist party as fascist and terrorist party he said tribal women and girls were being oppressed by the Maoists.

Tribal girls were not being given the opportunity to study. They were being forced to join the Maoist party. Tribal girls were being forcibly married off by Maoist leaders who were not even providing the girls proper medical facilities, Dutt complained. He noted that the Maoists were using women to meet their needs in Dandakaranya and obstructing their development. Maoist ideologies were forced on innocent tribal women and alienated them from the outside world.
