The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has a clear idea and strategy and would not resort
to indiscriminate
kidnappings, the
party's ‘east division
secretary’ Ganesh
has said, reports
The Hindu.
“We know whom to
kidnap but the reason
and other details
cannot be disclosed
since it is party's
strategy and an
internal matter,”
the Maoist party
leader told some
journalists at an
interior place in
Visakhapatnam District
on May 3. Every
kidnapping incident
has a purpose and
a reason, he asserted.
All kidnappings
were done by different
State branches of
the party, he said.
The party would
not kidnap every
State Government
official, Ganesh
said. He said that
the Project Officer
of Integrated Tribal
Development Authority
(ITDA)-Paderu, K.
Srikanth Prabhakar
had visited interior
villages Busiputtu
and Kannavaram,
the Revenue Divisional
Officer (RDO) of Paderu and other officials too were going on tours to interior villages
sometimes but they
were not kidnapped.
“We are asking the
officials to visit
interior areas and
solve people's problems
bogey. We are very
clear that everyone
must be provided
with education,
drinking water and
medical care. We
will not interfere
in these areas,”
Ganesh said.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on May 3 has finally refused to
order any judicial
inquiry or a probe
by a Special Investigation
Team (SIT) into
the alleged fake
encounter killings
of top CPI-Maoist leader Cherukuri Rajkumar alias Azad and a Delhi journalist Hemchandra Pandey.
The bench declared
that he was killed
in a genuine encounter
with the Andhra
Pradesh Police on
the night of July 1, 2010.
The PIL was filed
by the widow of
the journalist,
Bineeta Pandey,
seeking an independent
probe into the case.
Further, The Times of India reports that the CPI-Maoist have asked the Union Minister Kishore Chandra
Deo to resign from
his post and fight
with the people
against bauxite
mining instead of
submitting letters
to the governor
and other officials.
The Maoist leaders
alleged that instead
of pressuring the
Government on bauxite
mining, Deo was
washing his hands
off the issue by
sending letters.
"He is trying
to fool the people
on the mining issue,"
‘east division secretary’
Ganesh said and
alleged that the
State and central
Governments were
out to loot natural
resources like bauxite. |
