New Delhi, Nov.8 India on Sunday said that it was possible that the rebellious Maoists could be getting supply of small arms from China.

"They (Maoists) are using the philosophy of Marxism and Leninism to have their own brand of ideology. You should ask them... The Chinese are large suppliers of small arms and I am sure the Maoists get it from them," Home Secretary G.K. Pillai said in the capital.

"We would have to ask Maoists what they get from China," Pillai was quoted by a private channel as saying.

The Maoists have attacked State administration in the country and resorted to violent means. (ANI)
