Protesting Obama visit, Maoists call Bharat bandh

Kolkata, Nov 2: Protesting against US President Barack Obama's visit to India, the red rebels have called for a nationwide 24-hour bandh on Nov 8.

Speaking from an undisclosed location, Maoist leader Kishenji told a news agency, “The Maoist Central Committee will observe a 24-hour Bharat bandh on November 8."
