The day-long bandh (general strike) call given in the three Jungle Mahal Districts of West Bengal on July 2 to protest the arrest of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-backed People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) leader Manoj Mahato evoked partial response, reports The Hindu. While parts of the West Midnapore and Bankura Districts witnessed partial closedown due to the bandh, there was hardly any response in Purulia District. The bandh was called by the Durnity O Samrajyobadi Agrason Birodhi Ganatantrik Mancha (Democratic Platform against Corruption and Imperialistic Invasion) – an outfit floated by members of the PCPA, just before the State Assembly elections after they announced the ‘dissolution' of the PCPA.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee gave a call to the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to lay down arms, saying her Government was 'always ready' for talks, according to Times of India. "The Government will not act in a revengeful manner and is always ready for talks. Those willing to surrender will be offered rehabilitation and a special package," the chief minister told reporters. Announcing a seven-point joint declaration with the Citizen's Forum, a conglomerate of social and human rights organisations, she said "arms have to be surrendered by all in West Bengal, including Junglemahal, and the State Government will take steps to recover arms.” "The joint forces will be withdrawn from Junglemahal once it is free from arms and peace is restored," Banerjee said. She said the allegations of atrocities by the people living in Junglemahal against the erstwhile Left Front government would be investigated. Calling for democracy to prevail in Junglemahal, she said: "The Government will take steps to ensure safety and security of life. The right of the jungle should remain with the people living there." Indian Express adds that five companies of central forces have been withdrawn from Junglemahal and sent to Andhra Pradesh to control the Telangana agitation. At present, there are 35 companies of central forces in Junglemahal. Economic Times adds Mamata Banerjee said that her Government will release 46 prisoners who were arrested in connection with different cases of political violence in the state during the past few years. She also said that all these prisoners will be released within a day or two. These 46 people are out of a total of 83 who are in judicial custody and who had appealed to the court for recognition as “political prisoners”. The court had granted the status to these prisoners well before the current Government came to power, adds Indian Express. Hindustan Times further added that Banerjee named six members of the civil society who would spearhead the Government’s initiative.

A day after West Bengal Chief Minister (CM) Mamata Banerjee invited Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to talk, Maoists said that CM Banerjee would first have to create a congenial atmosphere for dialogue, reports Times of India. "If Mamata is serious about talks, she will have to create a congenial atmosphere and instil confidence among Maoists so that they can come forward to talk," Maoist sympathiser and poet Varavara Rao told PTI. He said that to create confidence among Maoists, the State Government would first have to withdraw the joint forces engaged in anti-Maoist operations in Junglemahal, lift the Unlawful Activities (Prevent) Act, and release all political prisoners from jail. "The Government should release Maoist Central Committee members like Sushil Roy and Pati Paban Halder -- a demand which has repeatedly been made by Kishenji (Mallojula Koteswar Rao) and Azad [Cherukuri Rajkumar], who was treacherously killed," Rao said. Citing the example of Andhra Pradesh which in 2004 withdrew the elite Grey Hound Forces before inviting Maoists for talks, Rao said, "If the West Bengal Government is keen to solve the Maoist problem, it will have to take some positive steps."

According to a Times of India report on July 13 the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have rejected Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's dialogue offer to barter development with the surrender of arms. In a press release issued from Purulia, Maoist leader Bikram reminded the CM that Junglemahal remained more peaceful than elsewhere in the State since the change of guard in May, while "the CPM harmads and the green harmads of Trinamool Congress kept fighting among themselves in the rest of the state. She is asking us to lay down arms. But we want the harmads of all shades to surrender to the people," wrote Bikram. The Maoist leader further said: "The chief minister had promised that she won't come to Junglemahal with guns, but with development package. Mamata has gone back on her promise. She has been doing this everywhere - in Singur, Nandigram and Junglemahal."

Now Mamata, too, has to show her sincerity towards holding talks,” said the Maoist spokesperson.

Telegraph reports that the Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-backed People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) and other Maoist-backed organisations held rallies in Jhargram and Kolkata where some of the activists burnt her effigies on July 26. They accused Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister, of betrayal over her Government’s failure to release the PCPA leaders and withdraw joint forces from Jungle Mahal. In Kolkata, the Maoist sympathisers clashed with Police who tried to prevent them from erecting a “column” for the martyrs of the Singur-Nandigram and Jungle Mahal movements at College Square. They demanded the immediate release of all political prisoners. 12 members of United Student Democratic Front (USDF), a Maoist sympathiser group, were arrested in the protests that saw the chief minister’s effigy being burnt and a stretch of College Street blocked briefly. In Jhargram, Belpahari and other areas of West Midnapore, rallies were held for the “martyrs” by the Forum Against Terror, Corruption and Imperialism, an umbrella organisation of the PCPA, Jhargram Students Federation, Nari Ijjat Bachao Committee (committee for protection of women dignity) and others. The list of the “martyrs” included top PCPA leaders Lalmohan Tudu, Sidhu Soren and Umakanta Mahato, killed in encounters with the joint forces. Incidentally, the day was with the first death anniversary of Soren, a Maoist ‘commander’ shot dead in 2010 in Goaltore forest area.

According to Telegraph, the Maoists have sent a “letter” agreeing to talks, provided some conditions are met, Government sources said on July 27. Earlier this week, the Maoist State leadership had wanted to meet the Government’s interlocutors to know Mamata Banerjee’s “mind” before articulating their position on the chief minister’s talks offer. The “letter” is believed to have followed such an interaction, which could not be independently confirmed from Maoist sources. It couldn’t also be ascertained if the overture was a collective decision of the Maoist state leadership. The Government sources said some of the conditions were release of senior Maoists lodged in Bengal jails and leaders of the Maoist-backed People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA), including Chhatradhar Mahato. The Maoists have also stuck to their earlier demand of withdrawal of “90-95 per cent of joint forces” in Jungle Mahal.
