New Delhi:
After the possible nexus between right wing Hindu militants with
Pakistani ISI as claimed by slain ATS Chief Hemant Karkare,
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister today hinted at the possibility of Naxal-Let
nexus.
Labelling naxals as the "biggest
terrorists", Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh on Wednesday
said they may have links with Lashkar-e-Toiba and the menace would
have to be tackled through joint efforts between the Centre and the
state without use of air strikes.
Two days after naxals carried out another major strike in his state
in a month killing 35 people, Singh the Left-wing extremists were
now better trained and "force" would have to be applied along with
development to deal with the problem.
Addressing a press conference here, he said he was getting adequate
support from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Home Minister P
Chidambaram.
"Who else can be termed as terrorists? They are the biggest
terrorists....Naxalism is a biggest challenge to the democracy. They
want to capture power at gunpoint," Singh said when asked whether
naxals were terrorists.
Giving details of naxal activities in last 10 years in the state, he
said they have killed more than 1000 civilians and over 650
policemen besides blowing up 132 electric towers, 106 school
buildings and three hospitals in the state.
The Chief Minister said the naxals were better trained now as was
indicated by the recent incident in Dantewada where they blew up a
bus.
"Though I have no confirmation but some facts have come to light
indicating that naxals may have some connection with Lashkar (LeT)
militants... The manner in which they are using IEDs, explosives and
weapons with 100 per cent technical surety shows there are experts
behind this who are giving them training," Singh said.
To a question, he said aerial support was welcome but air strikes
could not be an option in the naxal-infested areas because it could
have collateral damage.
"There are landmines in up to 100 kms in an area. If there is a
blast it will take hours to take the injured to hospital by road.
Army helicopters can be used here. And also for supplying emergency
rations," Singh said.
"But I don't recommend use of air power as Chhattisgarh has a huge
dense forest cover inhabited by tribals and if any such attack is
launched, then they will suffer greatly...
Bombing is not possible in these areas. This is not a war," he
added.
