Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has convened an all-party meeting in New Delhi today to discuss ways to tackle Naxal menace in the backdrop of killing of Congress leaders in a Maoist attack in Chhattisgarh last month.

A decision in this regard was taken at the meeting of the UPA Coordination Committee last week at the Prime Minister's residence, which was attended by Congress President Sonia Gandhi, NCP President Sharad Pawar, National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah and IUML chief E Ahamed.

The Prime Minister had told the Chief Minister's Conference on Internal Security on Friday that the government's two-pronged anti-Maoist strategy of sustained operations and addressing development issues needed to be strengthened.
