How and why is debatable, people who must have called Vishwaranjan
might be having some view point, IPTA is known for creativity and
ground for advancment in social life.

Killing in any form is not right for any human be it police or any
one.

Our chattisgarh was peaceful, art & culture of Bastar was famous,
Tijan Bai and Panthi dance use to be symbol of our culture. Now I
read in news paper "a person killed his mother for Rs15" in village
of CG. If anything is unfortunate then the same is" redefining
values" of CG, if It is associated with killing of people by any
segment.
We must appreciate people who are trying to communicate something by
organizing any cultural event, as this is the only medium of
communicating via heart and soul.

CG govt admission of guilt and agreement to compensate

Dear Friends

I am attaching the relevant annexures in Hindi (see esp. R 5) which the CG Government has submitted in court, where it says that they will compensate all those whose properties have been damaged by salwa judum and security forces; and also that security forces should move out of schools and ashrams.

When the government has admitted illegalities by the Salwa Judum, how can the Chief Minister continue to justify an illegal movement?

The non-seriousness with which the CG government is treating its own promises is evident from the fact that when we met the Collector of Dantewada on 24 December, he had not even seen these letters dated 17 October. We had to give him a copy. he promised to call an all-party meeting in Sukma to discuss how best to compensate/rehabilitate, but went back on his promise, and last heard was planning to call a meeting in dornapal camp!
The situation in Bijapur is likely to be even more abysmal. The Government has to submit an ATR on this and other issues by the end of January - God knows what kind of ATR they will submit!

Please note that the compensation is a matter of right since it is ordered by the Court; that it is not restricted to those in camp, but includes everyone in villages as well as refugees in AP or elsewhere; and that villagers do not have to prove who burnt or looted their property.

According to one estimate, in some of the refugee settlements in AP, 50% of the children are suffering from 3rd grade malnutrition.

Gollapalli killings and statement of Hon'ble CM on the floor of the

Posted by: "Pravin Patel" reachppa...@yahoo.com   reachppatel

Thu Jan 15, 2009 7:36 pm (PST)


Dear all

I would like to pick up the relevant portion from the address of the Hon'ble Chief Minister, made on the floor of the house, I quote :

"Salwa Judum is the answer to get rid of the naxal menace in the state and made it clear that it would end only after the end of naxalism in the state".

The statement is made at that point of time, when innocent tribals were being killed and their property was looted by the Salwa Judum actors for the only fault of that those tribals refused to be part of the Salwa Judum militia.

I raise the following to discuss the issue:


Ø There is no doubt that Naxals are having their strong presence in the state of Chhattisgarh. 14 out of 18 districts of Chhattisgarh are in the grip of naxal related problems.

Ø When the Chief Minister says on the floor of the house that “Salwa Judum is the answer to get rid of the naxal menace in the state” and made it clear that “it would end only after the end of naxalism in the state”

I would like to ask few simple questions to the Hon’ble Chief Minister.

1. Right to life and Right to own property is the constitutional rights of the citizens of India. No body is empowered to deny those rights nor can play mischief with it.

2. It is the duty of the state to protect the lives and p
properties of the citizens irrespective of caste, creed or
religion, poor or rich.

3. Now, when the Chief Minister says that Salwa Judum is
the answer to get rid of Naxal menace, he directly
agrees that his police force has proved to be the failure
to tackle naxal menace and now depend on the Salwa
Judum which has proved that it is nothing less than a
milit ia organization.

4. Chief Minister has confirmed on the floor of the house that Salwa Judum is the answer to the Naxal menace, and then the question arises,

Ø What is so special at Datewada that the state is behind the tribals to force them to fight with Naxals in the name of Salwa Judum?

Ø Why at Dantewada area only and not any where else in the state?

Ø Is it because the largest investor of the country i.e. House of Tatas have interest in those areas for mining of iron ores?

Ø Is it a mere coincidence that immediately within less than 24 hours of inking the MoU with the Tata Iron and Steel Company on 4th of June, 2005, Salwa Judum began at Kutru Police Station area on 5th of June, 2005?????

The recent killings of tribals at Singavaram under the Golapalli Police Station area in the district of Dantewada have pulled off the veil from the face of the administration about the truth of Salwa Judum. Those tribals were forced to desert their villages and join the Salwa Judum forces, ended with the looting of their property and killing 17 of them when they denied to do so.

Height of the tragedy is that while the Salwa Judum is on looting and killing spree, Hon’ble Chief Minister glorifies them on the floor of the house.

What is now needed to take strong and drastic action against the injustices done to the tribals of Bastar in the name of cleansing naxalites. To cleanse naxalites from the soil of the state is the job of the state and not the innocent tribals. Why they should be forced to do so and why they are forced to pay heavy price for their refusal to join the state sponsored Salwa Judum militia needs answer.

It is pity to see that congress party even as an opposition party has failed to perform their role. Though they have 38 MLAs against 50 of the BJP party, they are proving to be inefficient lot more particularly in the matter of raising and and supportingg the people when they need them the most. They need to learn lessons from Ms. Mamta Banerjee whose Trinamul Congress has only 30 MLAs in the house against the mammoth 235 MLAs from the left but Mamata is making them on the run even in a small issue that pertains to the injutices caused to the people. Singur and Nandigram has resulted in throwing out CPM party out from almost all the Panchayats and now have MLAs also in both the areas. The recent by election has been won by her party with a margin of 40,000 votes on a seat that fell vacant by the death of the CPM MLA. People have supported her because she supported them in the hour of their need and pushed out the left parties from even
their strong holds.
