Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, during a meeting of the Chief Ministers from seven Naxal-hit states in New Delhi on Wednesday, said Naxalism could be defeated only by widespread developments in the state and a sustained effort by the government to educate the youths of the dangers of an outlawed lifestyle.
"In our zeal to defeat Naxalism, we must not ignore the principles of human rights and before a strike against the ultras is ordered, other social and human issues must not be overlooked," the Chief Minister said.
Talking about various schemes implemented by the NDA government in Bihar to minimize extremist activities, Kumar said programs like 'Your Government at Your Doorsteps' have helped give new hopes to the youths in the state who were increasingly rejecting the life of an outlaw and adopting ways to be productive citizens and be a part of the mainstream society.
Kumar also emphasized the need for sweeping land reforms, rehabilitation and education among ultras surrendering their arms in favor of a more peaceful life.
Bihar Home Secretary Afzal Amanullah and Director General of Police D. N. Gautam were also present at the meeting.
