The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has listed a range of activities that “ordinary citizens” can carry out against Left Wing Extremism (LWE), which includes condemning violent incidents on social media and “recognise the propaganda war” unleashed against the Indian state by Maoist ideologues and sympathisers.

A document listing “Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)“, uploaded by the LWE division of the Ministry, says citizens can “condemn the violent and brutal atrocities being perpetrated by the CPI(Maoist) and other LWE groups on innocent civilians in any available forum including the social media.”
