*NEW DELHI - India has become the third worst state in the World over the issue of terrorist attacks on its soil. *
*India was at the third position as one of the victims of extreme terror attacks in the World.*
According to a US survey, India after Iraq and Afghanistan becomes the third largest victim of terror attacks across the world due to the hands of Maoists, which carried out 53% of the total attacks in India.
Maoist is a Communist Party of India which aims to overthrow the government through people’s war.
The national consortium for the study of terrorism and responses to terrorism, contracted by the US Department of state, has claimed that Jammu and Occupied Kashmir witnessed a 24% increase in terror attacks in 2017 and an 89% increase in the number of people killed in those attacks.
Out of a total 860 terror attacks across India in 2017, 25% were reported from J&K alone.
Terming Maoists as the fourth deadliest terror group in the world, the US study has stated that it was responsible for 53% of attacks in India in 2017.
“The frequency of terrorist violence by Maoist extremists in India declined between 2016 and 2017 with respect to the number of attacks (from 338 in 2016 to 295 in 2017); however, the number of people killed increased 16%, and the number of people injured increased 50%,” it said.
