Consider the following scenario:-
(a) The new Army chief has just taken over and in his first official press interaction,
he makes a statement that the army will not be deployed to tackle internal mischief
makers – subtly implying that the government must use the police and paramilitary
forces to quell such rebellions.
(b) The Home minister visits Lalgarh, in West Bengal, that had witnessed Maoist
violence, for the first time. He has shown that he means business ever since he has
taken over the job and makes a statement that ‘the buck stops at the Chief Minister’s
table’, implying that the state governments must take stern measures, which will then be ably assisted by the union government, in providing additional resources like troops, arms and ammunition.
(c) The ULFA terror group’s top leaders are under detention and are under duress to
get into dialogue with the union government.
(d) The duplicity of the Kashmir Hurriyat groups’ attitude towards the olive branch
offered by the union government, to come to the negotiating table, has been exposed
by the media by bringing out the secret parleys between them and the Chinese, in a
third country.
(e) Pakistan is going through the danger of disintegration by the very same forces that
she’d nurtured to cause discomfort to India.
China and Pakistan are unhappy that India still continues to move forward on all fronts
and making enviable progress, economically. They desperately want to bleed us and there
fore, have encouraged the Maoists to get active with the sole aim of forcing the union government
to deploy the armed forces to tackle the menace and thereby, achieving their objective of
wearing the army thin, over a wide area.
It’s my fervent hope that our political leaders do not bite the bullet and the military leaders should be firm in their resolve of keeping out of the mess, but provide adequate training and resources to the police and paramilitary forces and make them a cohesive battle capable force. And then the Maoists should be taken on without any compunction.
Only then will the souls of those seventy six unfortunate CRPF men, who lost their lives in today’s carnage in Dantewada, of Chattisgarh, will rest in peace. My humble prayer for each one of them and may God give the strength to their families to bear the searing pain.
