Suspected Maoist supporters beaten up in Jharkhand | Threatened by Maoists, villagers of Jharkhand's Dalma district beat up fellow villagers whom they suspected of
supporting the rebels. Three suspects identified as Mahesar Singh, Mann Govind
Singh and Phulmaali Singh were accused of giving details of villagers to the Maoists
and posing a threat to them. All the villages come under Dalma district and their
residents gather for meetings organised by the Dalma District Defence Committee.
The committee members have assured all villagers that they should not fear the
Maoists, but retaliate against them. Committee members have urged the villagers
to punish those people they suspect of helping the Maoists. "We will search for
the Maoists in every nook and corner of the village and even inside the forests,
and wherever we will find them, we are going to kill them because when we hand
them over to the police, Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren releases them,"
said Hari Kesto Gurai, a villager. The villagers have indicated they have no faith
in the state government or the Maoists. "Our motive is to flush out the Maoists
from here. We won't let them loiter in Dalma region. Maoists shall go back from
where they came, be it from Bangladesh or from any other foreign region," said
Jalan Mardhi, another villager. Most Maoist rebels have ignored repeated calls
from the central and state governments to renounce violence and negotiate. |
