Underscoring that violence has no place in democracy, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday appealed to the Maoists to shun violence, join the mainstream and help in developing India into a superpower.
Addressing the 75th raising day of the CRPF, Singh said that Mao Zedong's ideology, which is being followed by the CPI (Maoist) in India, is forgotten even in China, the country where he had founded the Communist State and has gone on to become one of the most powerful countries in the world.
