In a country that is already bleeding due to terrorist attacks from across the border, the recent attacks by Maoists on the CRPF troops in Dantewada forest region, emphasizes that equal importance should be given to acts of violence from within the country.
Dantewada is another macabre manifestation of the heinous crimes that are committed against innocent civilians and government servants by the Maoists. While it is a ghastly act that needs to be condemned by all the responsible citizens, it is also time to take notice of how to tackle the menace of Maoists which is spreading like a lethal virus across the country.
Time and again the Government of India has tried to engage the Maoists in discussions in understanding their ideological issues, but the time has come to realize that such forces should be tackled with bullets and not through discussions.
The Government should immediately act in bringing not only the perpetrators of Dantewada to justice but should focus on the other elements that are supporting the Maoists across the country. The source of funds for the Maoists should be tracked down along with cutting off their political patronage if any.
It should be ensured that these atrocious criminals are not called once again to any round table but were brought to justice as soon as possible.
