Haridwar: Under attack for his proposal to raise an armed force, Baba Ramdev today said he was not trying to train terrorists or Maoists but only wanting to set up a "nationalist" force. "I am not making terrorists, Naxalites and Maoists. I am only developing a nationalist force. It is for self-defence," Ramdev, who is continuing his fast against corruption, told his followers at Patanjali Yogapeeth here. He was reacting to a volley of criticism on his plans to raise a 11,000-strong force to deal with police and anti-social elements attempting to disrupt his anti-corruption campaign. "If our women are able to safeguard themselves then nobody will dare to harm them and if our men are able then they can defend any Ramlila ground-type attack," he said. "My words should be taken in the right context. People should understand what I have said.I want to train them for self-defence
