Two Maoist rebels surrender in Orissa | Two Maoists rebels have surrendered to police in Orissa's Keonjhar District. The two rebels surrendered as they had
become disenchanted with the working of the rebel group. Sabita Munda, a
surrendered
woman rebel said, "We were being tortured by higher cadres. I didn't like this
so I left the Maoist organisation." "They had lured us to join their organisation.
They tortured us, so we decided to leave them and fled away from the organisation
secretly," added Munda. The state police have claimed that their department is
making proper arrangements to rehabilitate the surrendered rebels. Superintendent
of Police (SP) Keonjhar, Ashish Kumar Singh said, "They realised that the
movement
will not solve the matter at gun point. They felt that peace is important so they
surrendered. We accept them and we will rehabilitate them as per government
policy."
Union Home Minister P Chidambaram had on Tuesday (February 9) asserted that
the
Government would reclaim the areas presently dominated by Maoists and asked
them
to abjure violence, saying it is the only option for initiating dialogues with
the Government. At a meeting called by the Centre in Kolkata to help the four
Naxal-affected states of West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar and Jharkhand to co-ordinate
their campaign against the rebels, Chidambaram said that the Maoists must halt
violence. |
