Chhattisgarh govt forms new tribal force to get around SC ban

Chhattisgarh govt forms new tribal force to get around SC ban BS Reporter /

To counter the Supreme Court ban on using tribals as special police officers
(SPOs) in Naxali-hit areas, the Chhattisgarh government has decided to form
a Chhattisgarh Auxiliary Force. It has issued an ordinance to employ 6,000
tribals who were part of the erstwhile ‘Salwa Judum’ and ‘Koya Commandos’
funded by the state government.

Chief minister Raman Singh said the Naxal problem could only be solved
through discussion and by developing those areas but there was a need to
seal the jungles in inter-state areas and deploying special forces that are
properly armed.

“We fully respect the judgement of the Supreme Court. The state government
has issued an ordinance to form the Chhattisgarh Auxiliary Force and over
6,000 tribals will be part of this force,” said the CM. He said governments
should be prepared for a long battle with Naxalites and there was no way to
go backwards on the issue.

The Supreme Court had recently banned the Chhattisgarh government from using
tribals as SPOs to fight Maoists and both the Union government and the state
government have decided to file a review petition against the judgement.

“If we disarm the SPOs, who will protect them and their families, who have
already seen the deaths of family members? The state has now provided these
SPOs with a uniform, better pay scales and insurance to live a life of
dignity,” argued Singh. He said there was only one Veerappan who managed to
evade arrest for 12 years but Chhattisgarh had thousands of Veerappans,
armed with dangerous weapons.

The government has also asked the Union government for a Rs 125 crore
package to help tackle the Naxalite menace by upgrading technology to detect
improvised explosive devices, a favoured strategy of the latter.

*The UID project i**s going to do almost exactly the same thing which the
predecessors of Hitler did, else how is it that Germany always had the lists

of Jewish names even prior to the arrival of the Nazis? The Nazis got these
lists with the help of IBM which was in the 'census' business that included
racial census that entailed not only count the Jews but also identifying
them. At the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, there is an
exhibit of an IBM Hollerith D-11 card sorting machine that was responsible
for organising the census of 1933 that first identified the Jews.*
