Stating that frontal organisations sometimes did become
an impediment in the fight against naxalism, Chidambaram said
that would not stop the government from taking action against
Maoists.
He said there were numerous and well documented instances
of atrocities by left-wing extremists. "Human rights
organisation should condemn armed struggle."
Adequate security forces were being given to Jharkhand
to deal with the menace and the Centre was monitoring the
situation closely, he said.
To a question on the requirement of security forces for
Jharkhand to tackle the increasing Maoist menace, he said "We
give forces according to need. We know the need of Jharkhand."
Chidambaram said he was in close touch with the bordering
state of Orissa which has six to seven districts affected by
the Maoist menace.
"Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik met me yesterday. I
am in close touch with the government of Orissa ... but major
presence of naxalites are in Jharkhand and Chhatisgarh which
is why I used the word epicentre," Chidamabaram said.
Stating that the Centre was paying special attention
to the situation in Jharkhand and Chhatisgarh, he said "In the
larger interest of the nation we confront the naxalites,
contain them and defeat them."
On security forces working in difficult terrain, he
said "Of course, the conditions are difficult. But that does
not mean we should not take action. It is all the more we
require to prepare and take appropriate action against the
naxalites."
On whether there was any politician-naxal nexus, the
Home Minister replied that he was unaware of it. "I don't
know. But if a politician mixes with naxalites, I think he
will eventually pay a price. If any names are brought to my
notice, certainly I will take action," he said. PTI PVR
