On Saturday, Maoist leader Koteswar Rao alias Kishenji has threatened that they ( Maoists) would start attacking cities like Kolkota, Bhubaneswar if their offer for talk is not accepted. This seems to be retort by Maoists after chief ministers from Wes Bengal, Budhadeb Bhattacharya and Orissa, Nabin Patnaik, insisted that Operation Green Hunt be stepped up against Naxalites.

Interestingly while government has been trying to portray Naxalites as terrorist organisation killing innocent civilians randomly, the statistics show otherwise. Also most probably, this aim by government has prompted Maoist leader Koteswar Rao alas Kishenji saying, 90 percent of Adivasis can not avail government job under reservation policy. And this is what Naxalites want to portray themselves, an outfit fighting for justice for tribals and downtrodden in India.

ULFA ( United Liberation Front of Assam), an insurgent group active in Indian state of Assam, had been fighting for independent Assam since 1979. During this period, it had got almost 80% of its top leaders arrested by Indian security forces and are lodged in Guwahati ( state Capital of Assam). But Paresh BArua, the self styled ‘commander-in-chief’ of ULFA’s military wing has been absconding and without his arrest or surrender, ULFA is considered to be powerful enough to disturb peace in Assam.

Indian government has been trying to engage ULFA for negotiation for long time now. ULFA is one of the few insurgent groups in North East India, which has not come to negotiation table with Indian government even for once. Though there have been ceasefire many times before between ULFA and Indian security forces, but there was never any negotiation between them.

Reports says that Maoists in India has declared 72 day cease fire.

The news is on TV channels right now. But it is interesting that Maoists have declared ceasefire after few spate of attack on security forces inflicting heavy causalities. Recently, they had killed 24 EFR personals in a daring attack in West Bengal which resulted in suspension of its IG after series of events afterwords.

President Pratibha Patil too condemned Naxalites in her recent speech. According to few TV channels, the ceasefire is conditional and Naxalites want Indian government to halt their operations ( Green Hunt) too.

It will be very interesting to see how government of India reacts and also to watch new development in next few days!

Maoists numbering 60 to 70, armed with automatic rifles, ambushed security forces in Silda (just 30km from Midnapore town) on Monday, killing 21 Eastern Frontier Rifle (EFR) jawans and abducting many injured soldiers, in the most devastating and daring Naxal attack in Bengal so far, at Belpahari, West Midanpore, West Bengal.

“This is our Operation Peace Hunt against their Operation Green Hunt,” Kishanji told TOI. “This is our reply to Chidambaram and Buddhadeb. Steer clear of the jungles of Bengal, Orissa, Bihar and Jharkhand.”, as per Times of India report.

It may be noted that, Indian home minister P Chidambaram launched “Operation Green Hunt” few months ago to decimate Naxalite from India’s tribal forest areas in Chattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa states. With this killing, Naxalites have proved, the “Operation Green Hunt” has not affected them at all and they are capable of mounting attack o Indian security forces at will.

Despite LTTE being decimated, Tamil Eelam in Srilanka is still raging, according to Army Chief of Sri Lanka, Lt Gen Jagath Jayasuriya. “Even at present those who had connections with terrorists and the Tamil diaspora overseas are still discussing the possibility of establishing a state of Eelam according to information we received,” Lt Gen Jagath Jayasuriya has said.

When LTTE was decimated and all its top leaders were killed in May, last year, nobody believed that Tamils in Sri Lanka would stop fancying about Tamil Eelam. But everybody believed, it will not be possible for another LTTE or LTTE like organisation to come up in near future.
