Alienated people-Tribes

More than19 innocent people were killed in fierce encounter between 300 CPRF personnel and alleged Maoists in Dantewada last week (June 27-28) and government cannot justify such indiscriminate firing; government justifies that this encounter involved minimum collateral damages. This took place at night. At night, how would the CPRF personnel know who is Maoist and who are innocent citizens. The claims are that they are criminal. Only 3 were traced to have criminal records and that has not been proved yet; inquiry is yet to be made. CPRF were looking for training camps of Maoists, before the encounter, and under cover of night came from three directions and fired at the villagers. More than 800 CPRF were combing the area for Maoists, and they needed to show results. Is killing good results? We must make peace with the tribal people and stop shooting like this. Avoiding killing innocent people is the correct course of action; development of the people is our agenda and not purging of the people. Without taking the course of law of the land, the state government and central government have used Para-military forces and are threatening the people. This creates a reign of terror; people want peace and not a climate of war. CRPF personnel say that they constrained themselves and used least sophisticated weaponry.The killed persons received multiple gunshot wounds. They had shot 44 people below the knee and pumped bullets in an indiscriminate manner and that is cruel. Creating hatred in the minds of the people and an atmosphere of distrust is the result of this firing action. Future citizens will hate to be part of such cruel India. Why send Para-military forces to thick jungles of tribal lands? May be government wants to clear the land, so that foreign corporate can set up plants in mineral rich tribal lands.It reminds one of book by Arundhati Roy titled, the Broken Republic.Who will protect these innocent tribal people--may be their Goddess will.
