Maoists resort to contract killings in Jharkhand | The Maoists have been claiming to be the voice of the poor and helpless, but it doesn't seem to be the reality. Maoists in Jharkhand are resorting
to contract killings and ensure an extra income for themselves in the name of
carrying their 'fight for social justice against administration.' Naxalites are
on the look out for any quarrel or dispute among villagers. They intervene in
such matters and threaten the other parties and extort money. "For money, the
Maoists have formed a new methodology. The Maoists unnecessarily interfere in
the matters of the village and are trying to spoil the village culture and the
relations cherished for generations," said a villager. The latest methods have
created a fearful environment. The fear of being threatened and killed by the
rebels has made many of the villagers flee their native village. Maoists even
extort money from Government and private bodies and schools. The local administration
has extended its full help to the scared villagers, but the residents feel helpless
as they fear Moaists. "The administration is very serious and alert about helping
villagers. There is no lack or negligence from their side. The administrative
authorities have even given full assurance to the villagers, but the villagers
are helpless," said Rajneesh Singh, another local. "They mainly raise funds through
extortion. All those who are working in those regions, be it a government worker,
forest contractors, or road construction workers, they extort money from them.
They obtain money in this manner for running their operations and purchasing arms
and ammunition," said Prakash Singh, Former Director General of Police. The Centre
recently banned and formally labelled Maoist insurgents as a terrorist group,
hoping it would give security forces more enforcement powers. |
