Jobin- The problem is that Naxal problem affects many states. There is lack of proper coordination between states and the center. The problems can be solved only by proper coordinated and team work by the state governments and center and also steps taken for development in the affected area.
Although Naxals use violent means, they normally kill the police forces fighting against them or the suspected police informers. The terrorist groups like Laskare Tayaba kill common men and terrorize them.
The Naxals should come to main stream. As long as there is scope for changing the political and social system by peaceful means, they should avail of such opportunity.
Very very serious and strong decisions should be taken by Government.
Deepti- The Government always talks of strong action but this is mere talk. apart from lack of coordination between various state governments and the center, there is neither swiftness nor secrecy. The Operation Green Hunt was well known to all and movement of security forces was well in knowledge of all and this was being telecast. On the other hands, Maoists act more swiftly, smartly and maintain secrecy of their actions. Without precise plans, coordinated efforts and secrecy of action, there can be no genuine fight against the Maoists.
Gulshan, you are absolutely right in pinpointing it.It is sheer malgovernance which is at the root of it!Today I was reading somewhere that a chunk of the funds released under NREGS is seized upon by the Maoists to sustain their movement!!
Yes chinmoy. I also today read about sources of funds raised by Maoists. The issue is that most govt. officials including police are corrupt and lethargic. That is why they are unable to fight against Maoists.
The Naxalite problem is not a new and what we should be concerning ourselves with is what government has been doing about it. They have taken advantage of the governmental apathy towards developmental issues in some of the backward regions of the country which are fertile grounds for Naxalites.You are absolutely correct that in a democratic setup they have no place and that should be put across to them very clearly and ruthlessly.
The security personnel are getting a very raw deal. The police personnel killed in action are not officially considers as 'martyrs' unlike army personnel who are give martyr status even if killed in internal disturbances. Moreover, the compensation package paid to police personnel is much less than that given to families of army persons. Also the compensation package differs from state to state.
In this connection, the fate of informers of intelligence agencies is very pitiable. The informers risk their lives to gather crucial information on insurgency as well as foreign danger. They are not even recognized as they work secretly. They are not even regular employees. Even if caught as prisoner by another country while performing their patriotic job, they are made to suffer in foreign jail as nobody even recognizes them. There have been many such cases.
@Gulshan

You have done well to highlight the plight of this section of security forces who deserve a much better deal.
In my opinion all the rebellions are the creation of Government itself.Their injustice deeds have created them.
Yes.. thats right Abid. The Government officials should always mind their words and deeds.. and there should always be in mind that all people are watching them!! There speeches or deeds.
We cannot blame them as it is their innate instinct to revenge like any man.So first we have to correct ourselves.
Now Digvijay singh congress Leader has blatantly criticized Home Minister on Naxalite issue for treating this as a mere law and order problem. It is obvious that the Central Government is neither unanimous nor clear on any issue.
The ruling party is not in one mind on fighting Naxals. Now, Mamata banerjee Union Minister says that there are no naxals in Weast Bengal. She does not support Union Home Minister. It is funny that there is no unanimity even among central government ministers on tackling the crucial naxal issue.
More attacks will have to be expected from them soon.So our officers have to be vigilant.
Seems that Chidambaram ji is not guilty of what have happened!!!!!!
It can not be the sole responsibility of any individual.The entire problem has to be addressed and tackled in a well-orchestrated administrative action.
yes of course... but the blame should be taken by some one.... being a home minister, he should.....
Deepti- Blame should be taken by Union Cabinet as a whole. The Home Minister does not appear to be at fault as far as his role is concerned. The fight against naxalites needs coordinated organized action by intelligence agencies, security forces, defence forces etc. under jurisdiction of Central and state governments. Development work and redress of problems of people in affected area also need be tackled. If possible, negotiations with naxalites also should be held without weakening resolve to fight against them.
