We accept the challenge posed by Maoists:
The West Bengal government on Saturday said it accepted the challenge posed by Maoists who killed two persons in West Midnapore district where operations against the left wing ultras by security forces were on for almost a month now.
Maoists were getting encouragement from civil society and support of well-minded citizens was required to stem the menace, West Bengal Governor MK Narayanan said on Friday.
