After the Govt. of India's declaration of the 'war-on-left-wing-terror' or the 'Operation Green Hunt', the internet forums are flooded with mails and petitions from demented human right activists, PUCL activists and CPI-ML political wing, soliciting public support. But, such ingenuous appeals from left wing sympathizers, ignoring their heinous killing spree of our COPs, ambush attempt against CMs, went past me like galley smoke. I grinned for a while, recalling my 3 year old letter to Orissa CM (Ask Center to Kill Maoists [3]) to hunt down these left wing radical demons, who claim the status of tribal-Robin Hood and yet block or destroy whatever development activities proposed by our Governments in those areas. They threaten the contractors, not to undertake any construction in those areas.
Hope, I am not being rude here. Trying to back away from my levity, I pondered, what made this happen; for me it was a dream comes true. Since last couple of weeks, Mr. Chidambaram has been issuing press statements against Naxal Terror, as if he is burrowing through my mind and picking my words. A centrist Union Home Minister in a liberal congress Government is doing, what the right wing Shri L.K.Advani didn't think of doing. Had I been, the Union Home Minister, I would have done it as soon as I took my oath; but it is better late than never. All praise of the Union Home Minister.
The Operation Green Hunt is analogous to Pakistan Army's recent crackdown on the Taliban in SWAT valley; the so called students of Islam, unlike of tough Naxal guys, were started running parallel Governments in SWAT Valley and even established their own Sharia courts; a state with in a state.
Earlier, in Pakistan's SWAT valley, all half-hearted crackdowns against Taliban radicals had proven unsuccessful and the Government of Pakistan bought a truce and agreed to their demands to establish Sharia laws with in their territory. However, with pressure from America, the radicals were hunted and ousted from the Valley with maximum force.
Now the Government of India is ready with such Maximum force. It is also a live training for Indian Air Force as they have to deploy IAF Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) over Naxlite affected dense forests for snooping their activities/movements. The Israeli made UAVs have got 12 to 20 hour endurance and with a satellite link these can be controlled from Delhi. Some UAVs have sensors which can penetrate forest cover. The IAF has two types of drones, the Searcher II with 12-hour endurance and a 300-km range and the Heron which can fly out to 300 km range and remain airborne for 20 hours. Both drones are equipped with an array of day and night sensors and cameras to pick up ground movement
Besides IAF, for our paramilitary ground forces, it also will be a hunting expedition. In USA moose hunting is permitted in Alaska and even hunting vacation packages are available in other states. In India, before independence, usually Kings and British were privileged to go on hunting expeditions. After Independence, Indians have long been deprived of such hunting expeditions as these are banned; but now Naxal-Hunting is authorized by Cabinet Committee of Security. For BSF, it is going to be both - a patriotic act-cum-hunting excitement. No more dummy targets.
CPI-ML's Statement [1]
Now let us discuss CPI-ML's statement against Operation Green Hunt.
They say "War on the people cannot bring peace to Bastar".
Operation Green Hunt is war against people? Isn't it inconceivable?
Let us buy their dual categorization of India – CPI-ML perceives Indian democracy has got two actors. The Government being one actor, the other one is people. So they interpret – Government's war against Naxites as Government's war against people. Fair enough.
Now, let us apply the same measuring stick to the violence by people actors against Government and other people. i.e. bad people (ASURA/DANAVA) vs good people (MANAVA) and bad people (ASURA) vs Government (AUTHORITY OF KING). We are a Hindu Nation and for such a case shouldn't we follow what Lord. Ram and Krishna did or told?
Have not the so called "(bad) people" been engaged killing our COPs and have been trying to show the Government that "beware of tough bad guys" ?
Don't we have a Criminal Procedure Code out there to deal with such tough "bad guys", who are not only COP killers but also once tried to ambush Chandra Babu Naidu ? Is not it legal for our COPs to shoot at these tough "people" in self-defense, if these tough people fire back at COPs, with their illegally acquired weapons ?They are supposed to surrender if they don't want to be shot at.
CPI-ML also says "Disbanding Salwa Judum and ensuring rights of adivasi people is the only road to peace".
How laughable is this ingenuous statement? When the Union Government is out there to fight a full fledged war, with a time line of 3 years, what role Salwa Judum can play? It's no more between Salwa Judam and Naxlites. In worst case Salwa Judum can become police informers and point a laser gun to the Naxlite hideout so that IAF can target a laser guided bomb. In a best case scenario for CPI-ML, Central Forces may not take service of Salwa Judam. With or without Salwa Judam, there is a scheduled war, which can prolong up to 3 years. It is inconceivable at this time, how disbanding Salwa Judam is the only road to peace.
So what is then the real road to peace? Let the Naxlites surrender, spend couple of years in jail and we build the road to peace.
CPI-ML is also upset by the advertisement campaign by Government, which says – Naxlites are "nothing, but cold-blooded murderers."
For Naxlites, those good old golden days are just over, when they were orchestrating surprise attacks against ill-equipped, no-so-well trained weaker state police; now as camel, they have to deal with the mountain - the paramilitary forces with air support from Indian Air Force; finally the tall tough camels have to face off with the mountains, unless they give up their false illusion and pride of superiority and toughness.
The mighty LTTE boss Prabhakaran couldn't sustain the onslaught of Sri Lankan Army and Air-Force; our so called tribal Robin Hoods "tough guys" are getting ready to face off with Indian Air Force. Is that really smart move? Are they tougher than IAF guys?
We will see that in next couple of episodes of "HUM LOG".
Once the funds and foods line of Naxalites are cut off, how many days can they survive in jungle? On ground, the sniffer dogs will be after them and from sky IAF drones. I am not here to frighten our tough Naxlite bad guys but just trying to recall that, how former Iraqi president Saddam Hussian was captured from tiny cellar at a farmhouse near his home town, after a tip-off from a member of his own clan. In bad times, even one's own shadow doesn't wish to walk besides the body.
That said, I would like to call upon all the Naxal Sympathizers, Human Right Activists , Prabhat Kumar (CPI-ML ) , Dr. Binayak Sen, Medha Patkar, Leftist leaders, Liberals to stop advising the Government, which is obliged to protect the life and property of its innocent citizens and have to do whatever it takes to do; Pakistan already did it in Swat Valley to save its citizens from the Taliban Radicals and this is not some thing new.
Human rights are for humans and ordinary criminals, who commit petty crimes as opposed to organized crimes. Your "tough guys" are determined to intimidate state COPs by indulging in the gruesome killing of Inspector Francis Induwar and to me it appears that, they are ready for their life's last face-off, to die for the Marx and Lenin; the Red Jihad.
Unlike, Islamic (Green) Jihad, where Jihadis, get a chance to romance with pretty girls in heaven, your tough guys ( Red Jihadis ) may not get any such thing. So, in stead of ill-advising Government of India, please offer your good services to negotiate an unconditional surrender of the tough bad guys or peoples.
As you can see, too much toughness has proven dangerous for Naxals. Had this war been initiated by the right wing BJP and you all could have gotten a chance to promulgate about a – "right wing conspiracy theory". Now, no Muslims are involved either. Naxal hunting expedition is initiated by a Centrist Union Home Minister of a Liberal Political Party.
As you can see, for Naxals "WAQT BURA HAI"; both the Government and people are against Naxals. If you people harp on against Government, citing human right violations against your tough barbarians, you too will lose your credibility, like CPI-M/CPI who are widely dubbed as agents of China.
You all are wise and senior peoples. I hope, you will understand that Naxals just ran out of luck and in the verge of getting erased. Let us join hands to erase them and help good to prevail over evil.

Halt paramilitary offensive in Chhattisgarh
Halt Operation Green Hunt
War on the people cannot bring peace to Bastar
Disbanding Salwa Judum and ensuring rights of adivasi people is the only road to peace
New Delhi, September 20
The paramilitary offensive launched in Bastar by CoBRA battalions along with State police is a matter of grave concern for all those who seek the return of peace in the region. The experience of counter-insurgency offensives in other parts of the country as well as that of the past few years in Chhattisgarh itself have clearly shown that paramilitary cleansing operations never bring peace or end militancy. In effect, such operations have invariably spelt a war on the people, with mass scale violations of human rights, and have been quite ineffective in checking military actions by Maoists or insurgent groups.
The UPA Government, by sponsoring a militaristic offensive in Bastar and backing up the Chhattisgarh Government in the patronage of a private militia (the Salwa Judum), is not even heeding the recommendations of the Expert Committee appointed by the Planning Commission. In its report submitted in early 2008, this Committee had explicitly counseled against ineffective militaristic solutions, pointing instead to a "socio-economic malaise"
caused by States failure to ensure basic Constitutional entitlements to the poorest and most deprived of people.
In a highly irresponsible manner, the Home Ministry is accompanying its offensive with screaming ads displaying photographs claimed to be victims of naxalites who, the ad claims are "nothing, but cold-blooded murderers." Civilian killings by Naxalites are indefensible. But killings of innocents by the State, in order to brand them as extremists in death, is surely a far
more heinous offense. The Home Ministry is silent on the numerous encounters in Bastar, where villagers have identified the victims as innocent adivasis rather than dreaded naxalites. The Ishrat Jehan case has emphasized that encounters which are yet to proved genuine by a judicial enquiry are all too likely to be fake. Are fake encounters not cold-blooded murders? An estimated 2 lakh adivasi people of Bastar have been rendered homeless since the launch of the Salwa Judum offensive in 2005. There have been several charges of rape and loot against leaders of the Salwa Judum.
What passes for the counterinsurgency operation in Chhattisgarh is clearly nothing but a war on the people.
The only road to peace in Bastar, in this situation, can be for the State and central overnments to immediately put an end to the war on the people by private militia (Salwa Judum) and paramilitary; to ensure the return of the displaced adivasis to their villages; and guarantee of their rights to land, livelihood and life.

[2] The Liberal appeal
2nd October 2009, Gandhi Jayanti
We are deeply concerned that the Government of India might use air power against its own citizens. We condemn violence in all its forms, and by all parties, and are of the strong opinion that no resolution of any issue can be achieved through military means. There must be dialogue so that the basic issues that affect citizens such as food, health, education, and employment
can be addressed. Above all, there can be no peace without justice.
We demand a ceasefire between the Government of India, the respective state governments and the CPI (Maoist), and peace talks. The Government must initiate talks. The Maoists must respond. We, as citizens and concerned people are willing to help in whatever way possible.
