Soren retracts, says will cooperate with Centre on Naxal operation | Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren on Friday retracted
from his earlier stand to end anti Naxal operations and said his government would extend full cooperation to security forces involved in such actions. Interacting
with media, after the swearing in ceremony of the state's new Governor M O H Farooq,
Soren said: "We are not against 'Green Hunt'. The people have come to Jharkhand
to do their work. We will help them, help them locate the places and assist them
in every way possible." The State Government had pulled back security and paramilitary
personnel deployed in various regions of the state, giving rise to fears of allowing
the Maoists an opportunity to step up their attacks. In Raipur , during meetings
with the Chief Ministers of Chhattisgarh and Orissa, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram
said there was no "Green Hunt" operation. The states are using their respectivepolice
forces to fight Naxals and bring back normalcy, he added. He also ruled out the
involvement of the Army. "The Centre is just providing central police forces to
aid state government and assist in better co-ordination between states." he said. |
