PATNA: Union home secretary R K Singh,
on Monday, said holding talks with Maoists would not help solve the
problem as they wanted to establish a one-party rule on Chinese pattern.
Expressing concern over the Maoists and jihadis posing serious threat to country's internal security, Singh said they were working at cross-purposes as, on the one hand, they would vow to work for the welfare of tribal and poor people but, on the other hand, kill people of the same sections of society at whims. He stressed the need of strong intelligence network to tackle Maoists and Jehadis problems.
Singh said there were many challenges on the internal security front, but Maoists were a more serious problem and needed to tackle with force.
Singh was here to inaugurate the Indo Tibetan Border Police's (ITBP) first sector headquarters in the state. Praising the ITBP as the ace force of the country, Singh said for many states, it was the first choice among all paramilitary forces in the country.
The sector headquarters here would give Biharis in the ITBP a chance to stay with their families, he said. That apart, setting up the headquarters at Patna was part of the central government's plan to strengthen internal security in the country, Singh added.
Earlier, DG ITBP Ranjit Sinha said that ITBP personnel were working at 18,000ft above sea level and guarding the northern border from Karakoram in Ladakh to Sikkim, besides providing security to Indian embassies in disturbed areas like Kabul. They were also part of the UN force in Congo and some other countries. He said the ITBP was also engaged in adventure sports and soon a river-rafting expedition would be organized on the Ganges from Kolkata to Gomukh.
IG and DIG of ITBP, K B Singh and Mritunjay Kumar respectively, also spoke on the occasion.
