India’s fight against Maoist became hot!

Recently Maoists beheaded one Police office, Francis Induwar in Jharkhand in the first week of October 2009. After that, Maoists abducted police officers, Atindranath Dutta, in West Bengal, whom they claimed to be prisoner of war.

Kolkata, Oct 22: Maoist leader Kishenji on Thursday, Oct 22, said that the kinapped police officer will be released as the women who were arrested by security forces from Lalgarh were granted bail. “Atindranath Dutta, who was taken as a Prisoner of War on Tuesday, Oct 20, from Sankrail police station, will be released,” he said over phone.

When asked if the government has accepted the demand of releasing the women, Kishenji said that there were 15 women altogether whose bail applications were taken up by a court. “They have got the bail. After they come back, we will release the officer-in-charge,” he said.

The Maoist leader did not reveal if anybody from the government side came for negotiation. “Right now, I cannot disclose anything more,” he said.

Assuring the family members of Dutta, Kishenji said, “I assure that he will be released. The Maoists never kill Prisoners of War.”

Arundhati Roy came out of support of unconditional talks with Naxalites today.

NEW DELHI: Supporting unconditional talks with the Maoists, Booker prize winner and activist Arundhati Roy has alleged that “economic interests”
in mineral-rich states have driven the government and establishment to launch action against them.

“My fear is that because of this economic interest the government and establishment actually needs a war. It needs to militarise. For that it needs an enemy. And so in a way what the Muslims were to BJP, the Maoists are to Congress…,” Roy said in an interview to a TV news channel.

When asked about the talks between the government and left wing extremists, she said, “There should be unconditional talks with the Maoists. Source.
