The Communist Party of India-Maoist have established linkages with the banned Students Islamic Movement of India, and are looking to set up a base in south India, an Intelligence Bureau report, accessed by rediff.com, has revealed.
This is the first time an intelligence agency has established a link between the two banned groups.
The report says that early this year leaders of the two organisations held two meetings -- in Bengaluru and Hyderabad -- to strike an alliance.
After discussions, the two outfits decided to create a joint base in south India, the report said, adding that while they would step up recruitment, the base would operate out of Kerala .
