Korukonda Maoists detain Revenue officers
Ahead of Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy’s visit to Visakhapatnam district, Maoists once again sent a strong message to the government by detaining nine officials of Revenue department at Balapam area.
And some people on this Forum were claiming that Maoists have been wiped in AP by Competent Govt and Maoism in Chattisgarh is only due to the incompetence of Raman Singh.

I guess contratary to what they may claim, the Left(including those who claim tobe in the center) actually are most of the time wrong when it comes to facts.

I don't remember anybody here saying that they were totally wiped out for AP, but moved out to Andhra-Orissa border (AOB). They are exploiting the lack of coordination between the police forces of two states. Even Greyhounds had their largest casualty couple of years back there. But even these are rare incidents when compared to their hey days in AP.

And I don't think, they can make a successful come back in other parts AP with conditions as present even in telangana.

Naxals were never "wiped out" from AP. they were put under lot of pressure by TDP and consequently their activities and "presence" diminished. they came back with vengeance once YSR opened talks with them. AP is the logistical and tactical planning hub of Naxals. it's like a vacation home for them. they spend few months to relax and plan out and monitor their contacts and networks and then go out to create mayhem in other states. until INC looses power in AP, this will be the case.

Yvijay, read the previous pages. Naxalism was supposedly there only because of Raman Singh. Truth is Chattisgarh terrain plus the vested interests looking to profit from the Mineral Wealth will make the fight against naxalism very tough to wipe out in a short period.

It is very much there in the Hindu on 29/08 or 30/08. Many communist leaders in India admire the West and are infact done part of thier education there and would like thier children to settle down there. Infact, they would like Indians to follow history as dictated to them by western scholars since the 19th century. The infact, never critise racial, ethnic, class discrimination in the West. They hate everything Indian as much as many narrow minded westerns can. Many NGO's associated with communists in India receive funding from the West.

In order not be described as Western slaves or agendas exposed, there is always a token anti-americanism shown. This is only to create a perception and not be confused with reality.

See, Indian right is admires many policies of the West and openly admits for India to develop, we need to take the good from the West and we need good relations with other world powers. The left is just a bit more Hypocritical on such issues.

You mean indirect references by prominently publishing VS's allegations of 'conspiracy' etc without saying anything about the original document or its contents, even in neutral language, let alone with bells and whistles added by political propagandists posing as journalists as it did with other such releases without offering any space for clarifications by the affected person?

India Approves 1,719 Mining Projects on Forest Lands

Sep 6, 2011 3:58 AM By Dilipp S Nag
Comment Comment Email Email Print Print Facebook Facebook Twitter Twitter Share Share
RAPAPORT... India has approved 1,719 applications so far to undertake mining and prospecting of diamond and gold across approximately 142,135 hectares of forest land. The use of the forest lands for non-forest purposes, requires prior approval of the Central Government under the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980, Jayanthi Natarajan, the minister of state for environment and forests stated in Lok Sabha Monday. The government approvals are generally subjected to fulfillment of certain general and standard conditions, among others.

Rio Tinto Exploration India Private Ltd., which has been granted some approvals, seeks an extension period for drilling an additional 143 bore holes for prospecting of diamond in 2,329.75 hectares of forest land located in Chhatarpur district in Madhya Pradesh.

National Mineral Development Corporation has received an ''in-principle approval'' on its renewal proposal for mining leases involving 74.018 hectares forest land for its diamond mining project in Madhya Pradesh, the sole diamond producing state in the country.

^^^ On the same note also see this article - Jayanti now made it all legal

http://ibnlive.in.com/news/police-fiddl ... 721-3.html

Shehla had also written letters to Union Environmental Minister Jayanti Natrajan against illegal diamond mining in Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh.

The letter from Shehla to Jayanti Natrajan was written as recently as July 25, 2011. Shehla in this letter wrote that she was in the process of corroborating facts that the collector of Chhatarpur had allowed illegal mining.

In the letter, she also said a PIL to this effect had been filed against Rio Tinto and that two collectors were removed from the district after they refused to allow illegal mining.

Shehla had written similar letters to two MPs Anant Gangaram Geete, and Jeetendra Singh Bundela.

The letters were written on the letter heads of an NGO Udai of which Shehla was the president. The NGO was formed in 2004 but had moved towards wild life conservation only recently.

Essar contractor held paying off Naxals in Dantewada
Dantewada police arrested two people on Friday who it claimed were caught "red handed" exchanging Rs 15 lakh. One is a local contractor BK Lala, who told the police he was delivering the money to the Maoists on behalf of Essar Steel Limited. The other is Lingaram Kodopi, a young man, whom the police described as a 'Naxalite associate'.
The arrests come days after a leaked US diplomatic cable stated that a senior Essar official had told US diplomats that it "pays the Maoists 'a significant amount' not to harm or interfere with their operations." The company, however, has denied the allegations.
Along with the contractor, the police arrested Lingaram, and claimed that another Naxalite associate, a woman named Soni Sodi, managed to escape from the market.
The arrests are likely to be contentious. A resident of Sameli village, Kodopi shot to fame last year when the police named him in a press release as the 'mastermind' of a Naxal attack and as the successor of slain Maoist spokesperson Azad.
The young man, who was then studying journalism at an institute in Noida, denied the charge in a press conference in Delhi. He also alleged that the police had locked him for 40 days in 2009 and forced him to become an SPO, and he managed to escape only after the Bilaspur HC intervened.
Soni Sodi, also a resident of Sameli, is a hostel superintendent in government run residential school, as well as the daughter of a former MLA.
1. So not only netas and babus, but also corporate honchos get talkative in the company of US diplomats.
2. Speaking of the arrest being contentious, the fraud Agnivesh has already jumped in for defence of the Naxalite
Link to Indian Express news item
According to the police, Kodappi was the mastermind of the attack on Congress leader Awdhesh Singh Gautam’s Dantewada home in July 2010. He had later surfaced in Delhi at a press conference along with Swami Agnivesh.
Asked about Kodappi’s arrest, Agnivesh told The Sunday Express: “I know him as a student of journalism. He is a simple tribal youth. I have no information of his links with Naxals. Once again, he is being framed.”

Views from the Left
The oil imperative

As America marked the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on New York, an article in CPM weekly People’s Democracy claims that Washington used the opportunity provided by the terror strikes to further its interests — invading Iraq to capture its massive oil reserves, to meet its domestic consumption and strengthen its currency. The stability of the US dollar hinges on the dollar price of oil not rising too rapidly. US control over the world’s oil supplies is a means of instilling confidence among the world’s wealth-holders that the dollar will continue to be a stable medium for holding wealth even though it is not officially exchangeable against gold at a fixed price, the article says.

The invasion, it claims, did not turn out as planned — an oil law that would have handed over Iraq’s oil reserves to foreign companies was defeated in its parliament. Because of the “uncertainties arising from the conflict between the Kurds and the regime in Baghdad, and the low bids put forward by Chinese and Russian companies, the profit prospects on pumping Iraqi oil were not attractive enough for American oil companies,” it says. The article argues that the world was witnessing a repeat of the Iraq misadventure in Libya. “Osama bin Laden had repeatedly asserted that the only way to drive the US from the Muslim world and defeat its satraps was by drawing Americans into a series of small but expensive wars that would ultimately bankrupt them. For this purpose, however, no agency of Osama or his outfit was necessary; the imperialist quest for control over oil resources was quite enough,” it concludes.

Bank on trouble

An article in CPI weekly New Age describes the UPA decision to allow corporates to set up banks as suicidal. Allowing industrial houses to own banks, it says, would allow them to corner the bulk of the credit for their own businesses through connected lending.

The article alleges that UPA 2 wastes no time in implementing pro-rich reforms — even when it means undoing a nationally accepted stand — while it acts as if it is almost impossible to bring in any worthwhile reform in favour of the common man.

Attacking the argument that these new private banks will help take banking to so far excluded sections, it says: “India’s past experience is just the opposite. These private banks concentrated their operations in urban areas and largely catered to the upper sections of the society,” it says. Moreover, it claims, the business models of many private banks were not sustainable, resulting in rampant failures. Giving the historic perspective that led to nationalisation of banks, it says there were 566 private commercial banks — many of which had their origins in industrial houses — in 1951. “On an average, 40 banks failed each year between 1947 and 1955. Liquidation and amalgamation of the private banks to protect the depositors’ interest brought down their numbers... The sustainability of these private banks was in question, as funds were provided to the clients without ensuring proper mortgages... By 1967, the number of banks had declined to 91 with 6,982 branches.”

“Combining banking and commerce has not been a happy experience in many countries and it has led to connected lending. The ownership structure of large industrial houses may give rise to regulatory arbitrage and allowing industrial houses to own banks will exacerbate the existing concentration of economic power in India,” it says.

Blast fallout

Discussing the recent Delhi blast, the People’s Democracy editorial laments that despite support from across the political spectrum, the government’s effort to thwart such attacks have not been successful. “The resolute will of the nation against terrorism needs to find a better expression in the results,” it argues.

The article says that after the 26/11 attack, the government created new agencies to combat terror. “When these new laws were being discussed in Parliament, many of us had held the opinion that while investigation of the terrorist attacks and punishment of the perpetrators are important, effective systems must also be put in place in order to anticipate and prevent such attacks from happening,” it says.

expect a Binayek Sen type campaign now to free these "Innocents being detained".

11 Maoists arrested in Chhattisgarh
e forested interior areas of Bastar region, which is spread over 40,000 sq km, is considered the nerve centre of Maoist insurgency in India since the late 1980s.
So unlike what some in this forum claim that Maoist insurgency in Chattisgrah is due to the incompetence of Raman Singh, the Truth it seems that these Maoists had a free run under 10 years when Digvijay Singh was chief minister and later when Ajit Jogi was the chief minister and they have been challenged and taken to task only now.

When scrutinized it seems the left seems to get most of its Facts wrong, doesnt it?

Views from the Left
BJP racing nowhere

L.K. Advani’s resolve to go on a new yatra caused the CPM to recall the “mayhem of communal bloodshed” in the wake of the 1992 rath ratra. A People’s Democracy editorial alleges that Advani and the BJP hoped to sharpen communal polarisation again to reap political dividends. “Those who today argue that ‘India 2011’ is very different from ‘India 1992’ will do well to note that communal riots have already claimed the lives of nine people in Bharatpur,” the editorial says. In the context of the upcoming yatra and Narendra Modi’s fast, it discusses the perception that a race for the prime minister’s post is on in the BJP: “The RSS/BJP’s internal bickering is its internal affair. It is up to it to decide who its prime ministerial aspirant will be. However, this reminds us of a saying in Telugu. A person who is neither married nor has a house declares his son’s name! There is no election in the offing nor are there indications of any groundswell of support for the BJP. Yet, this crazy race.”

Of the BJP’s anti-corruption campaign, it says that even as Advani was announcing his yatra, the Lokayukta of Chattisgarh severely indicted the Raman Singh government for rampant corruption. “This comes days after the Karnataka Lokayukta holding the BJP government guilty of severe corruption... In haste, the BJP has changed its chief minister in Uttarakhand before charges of corruption could consume its state government. This is its track record on corruption.”

Sputter and stall

The CPI’s weekly New Age argues that the global economy has lost its momentum for recovery, and is edging close to a second recession. It quotes Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman saying that the risk of another recession has risen to one in two.

Saying that “warning bells have been sounded by the UN, IMF, World Bank and other institutions with strong calls on the US and the EU, in particular, to take urgent actions both on fiscal consolidation without sacrificing short-term support for growth and jobs, and on the sovereign debt crisis in the eurozone periphery threatening the stability of the decade-old single monetary union.”

The US economy grew by less than 1 per cent in the first half of 2011. Unemployment remains at 9.1 per cent and would be so through 2012. On the other side of the Atlantic, EU leaders are yet to arrive at any credible solutions to both financing debt-stressed peripheral states and securing the solvency of the banking system, it says. The article says that UNCTAD has projected a slowdown for the world economy from about 4 per cent GDP growth in 2010 to around 3 per cent in 2011. While China’s growth is lowered to 9.4 per cent, India’s expected 8.1 per cent growth in 2011 is based mainly on domestic consumption and investment and positive contribution of net exports.

Dereliction of duty

People’s Democracy also focuses on the recent CAG reports on Air India and the Krishna-Godavari basin production-sharing contracts. An article says that the CAG had indicted the civil aviation ministry on the acquisition of aircraft by Air India and Indian Airlines, terming it a “recipe for disaster”.

It claims the CAG report, when read along with the fourth report of the Committee on Public Undertakings on the merger of the erstwhile AI and IA, makes it abundantly clear that it was not a “recipe” for future disaster but a “well-scripted” disaster plan to serve the business interests of Boeing, the US aircraft manufacturer. “In the process, the two national carriers, since 2006 after their merger, have now accumulated losses of Rs 20,000 crore and have a current debt amounting to Rs 46,000 crore.” Besides calling for the resignation of Praful Patel — the former civil aviation minister — it says a probe should be conducted to find the others who planned the Air India disaster.

Another article, claiming that the CAG report on KG basis gas contracts has exposed the bureaucrat-corporate nexus, demands the immediate prosecution of concerned officials, penalties on Reliance and other private parties for gold-plating contracts, change in production-sharing contracts to prevent misuse and review of the new exploration licencing policy.

But that's not really violence, or if it is, it is understandable. The MLA in a wheelchair was brutally, savagely oppressing 99.99% of the hapless people of Orissa, and if his life continued for a second more, the oppression would become unbearable,and the opportunity to institute democracy and pluralism would be lost forever. Now, with the death of this horrific oppressor of the people( who would put Hitler and Stalin to shame), there is a chance of democracy, secularism, pluralism, openness and tolerance being established in Orissa. Just a chance.

I appreciate the maoists, they have proved to these political leaders time and again that they are against them. This seems to be a nice pattern, every opposition leader are in denial about the problem when they are in the opposition and promise no action during their campaigning, once they come to power they are forced to realise that all those romantic visions they had of the maoists are false and they go hunting for them. Those who learn from their mistakes are fools and those who learn from others mistakes are wise, wonder when our politicians will realise this, what is sad about this however is the realisation dawns upon them only after 100 police pandus/Administrative officials and on or two of their MLAs/Minsters are killed

Essar GM arrested for paying protection money to Maoists

The current investigation was sparked off with the arrest of B K Lala, a building contractor of Essar, who was picked up at a weekly village bazaar on September 9. The police claim he was carrying 15 lakh rupees, which he confessed he was delivering to the Maoists through alleged naxalite associate Lingaram Kodopi on behalf of Essar.

MB has killed two birds with one stone.

It was necessary to get some armed protection in some areas from Left Fronts private armies. MB was able to play off the Maoists against the commie private armies during the pre-election phase. This paid dividends in terms high voter turnout.

Her latest statement, and the fact that she hinted that the mainstream commies are getting along with the maoists, will gradually expose the larger commie ecosystem that ranges from faux "bhadralok" intellectuals to maoist terrorists on ground. She is attempting to show that the mainstream commies and maoists are one and on the same side. If she succeds it will be big thing.

Views from the Left
Strength of the union

An article in the CPM weekly, People’s Democracy, talks of the labour unrest in Maruti’s Manesar plant, saying that an “illegal action” by the management was cast as a “strike” by workers.

“With no stretch of imagination, however, can this be called a strike as it was the management which stopped the 2500-strong workforce from entering the factory from August 29 onwards till they signed individually what the management called a ‘good conduct bond’. This ‘fatwa’ was given by the management after the unilateral dismissal of five permanent workers and 18 trainees as well as the suspension of 26 permanent workers,” CITU leader Dipankar Mukherjee writes. Saying that no worker would execute such a bond voluntarily, he asks “under which law of the land can the Maruti Suzuki coerce its workers to become an unwilling bonded labourer...?” Further, the writer asserts the workers have the constitutional right to “form a union or association of their own choice.” Moreoever, “if the employers or industrialists have their own option to form the FICCI, CII, ASSOCHAM, etc, to represent their views, there is no law in the land which can deny the workers in Manesar unit of Maruti Suzuki their right to form a union of their own choice, whether independent or otherwise.”

“The present union is an independent one and the management had been pressurising the workers to form a union of the management’s choice,” he says. The article also slams the state government for allegedly aiding this “coercive action” by the management.

Poor reasons

The CPI journal, New Age, is harsh on the new BPL cutoff suggested by the Planning Commission. “Will the people below poverty line turn into those above poverty line by merely changing the definition of poverty? The Manmohan Singh government thinks so,” it argues, and that the government is merely pursuing its “anti-people line of thought”, trying to artificially lower the BPL line so that expenditure on various schemes, including the PDS, may be brought down.

The other purpose is to showcase the trimmed BPL figure as an achievement in reducing poverty, it claims: “For urban areas, the spending of Rs 32 a day translates into spending Rs 5.5 on cereals, Rs 1.02 on pulses, Rs 2.33 on milk, Rs 1.55 on edible oil, Rs 1.95 on vegetables, Rs 0.44 on fruits, Rs 0.70 on sugar, Rs 0.78 on salt and spices, Rs 3.75 on fuel.”

“Planning Commission suggests that this spending should be sufficient for adequate nutrition and keep people above the poverty line without the need of subsidised ration from the government. Let Planning Commission chairman Manmohan Singh, deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia and other members live on the food items purchasable in the above amounts and show they can survive for more than three months,” it further argues.

Police using its own means to ensure that top Naxal doesnt go out:
Mumbai Naxalite released from court, re-arrested by police
Mumbai-based alleged Maoist, Arun Thomas Ferreira, who was arrested in Nagpur a few years ago and lodged in Nagpur Central Jail, was on Tuesday released by the session court, but immediately re-arrested by the anti-naxalite squad and taken to an undisclosed destination. According to Ferreira’s lawyer, Surendra Gadling, the alleged Maoist was released from the Nagpur central jail on Tuesday afternoon. But some plain clothed police personnel from the anti-naxalite squad re-arrested him and whisked away from the jail premise immediately on his release.

Crackdown on anti-national NGOs
It's a shocking case of anti-national outfits posing as NGOs across the country. TIMES NOW has accessed intelligence documents listing over a hundred NGOs, which are not only violating rules but funding terrorists.

Father shot by Naxals, daughter on police radar for Maoist links
The Maoists were first seen near Bade Bedma in 1991, says Mahesh Kumar, a government teacher who served in the village from 1982 to 2006. But it was only after 2004, that their presence increased. "Three of the five para or hamlets part of the larger village started going for their meetings, but people from patelpara did not go," Mahesh adds.
so Maoists have been active for long but the State Admins seems to have given them a free hand until 2004 and it seems 2004 AP ceasefire gave a Maoists a chance to reorganise and regroup.
In 2008, the Maoists stabbed an old man, the father of the village kotwar or guard, and slit his throat. "No one even kills a chicken like that," recalls Madru. He called a village meeting. It was decided the son should file a police complaint. The police arrested one person in that case".
So much for Maoists fighting for rights of Tribals- infact do we have statistics on how many tribals have been killed by Maoists.
They said within the next year you must get our people released from jail, or else we will kill you," says Dhaneshwari. For the class 11 science student who lives in Jagdalpur town and had gone to the village for summer holidays, the sight of a Maoist meeting, with a row of victims being beaten by sticks, was chilling. But she still gathered courage to asked a Maoist woman why were they being pilloried. "She said 'tum log mil ke nahi rehte' (you do not display solidarity)".
and people support them in JNU. These JNU types using state funds to conduct a proganda war against India are trully parasites.

Suspected Maoist arrested in capital
A 36-year-old suspected woman Maoist, wanted by Chhattisgarh Police, was today arrested from a south Delhi locality where she was allegedly hiding, police sources said.

Soni Sori, a primary school teacher and an aunt of Lingaram Kodopi who was recently arrested for allegedly acting as a conduit between Maoists and Essar, was apprehended from Katwaria Sarai by a team of Delhi Police.
Funny how many Maoists are not languising is some Jungle but are arrested in Posh areas and seem to have a long of contacts in NGO's and Liberal Western Democracies.

She seems to be the same female who escaped when Lingaram Kodopi was arrested last month. Good to hear she was caught this time.

From viewtopic.php?p=1161612#p1161612
Along with the contractor, the police arrested Lingaram, and claimed that another Naxalite associate, a woman named Soni Sodi, managed to escape from the market.
:
Soni Sodi, also a resident of Sameli, is a hostel superintendent in government run residential school, as well as the daughter of a former MLA.
