Army not to be used against Maoists : Chidambaram
Raipur/Ranchi, Sept 25 (PTI) On a visit to Maoist-affected
states of Chattisgarh and Jharkand, India's Home Minister P
Chidambaram Friday said there is no move to involve Indian
Army in the fight against Naxals who posed the "gravest
challenge".
Chidambaram also said it was a matter of concern that
Jharkhand (eastern state) has become the "epicentre of
left-wing extremism" along with Chhatisgarh (central state).
"There is no proposal to involve the army in anti-naxal
operations," Chidambaram, who was in Ranchi to review the
security situation in Jharkhand, told newsmen in reply to a
question whether there was a move to use the Army or the Air
Force for the operations.
"Left-wing extremism is the gravest challenge to our way
of life, our republic and our democracy," he said of Communist
Party of India (CPI)(Maoist) which is a banned organisation.
"Our policy on left-wing extremism is very clear. There
is no place for violence or so called armed liberation
struggle in a republican, democratic, social form of
government," Chidambaram said.
"They believe in armed liberation struggle. We reject
that argument. So long any one indulges in violence, the state
has to oppose and fight the group," he said.
The Centre, he said, had made it clear during the recent
Chief Ministers Conference in Delhi that the so called armed
liberation struggle was unacceptable and the police would take
action against it.
Describing the frontal organisations of the outfit as
unfortunate, he said these organisations seemed to have taken
a 'romantic view' of left-wing extremism.
Earlier, Chidambaram said in Raipur that the Centre is
committed to fight Naxalism and that it would provide all
possible help to the Chattisgarh government in its efforts to
eradicate the left-wing extremists completely. (MORE) PTI PVR
