Congress disassociates with move to revive Salwa Judum in Bastar
RAIPUR: Opposition Congress has disassociated with the move to
re-launch ‘Salwa Judum’, an anti-Naxalite peoples’ movement in tribal
Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, saying that it was the responsibility of
the centre and the state governments to work out and implement
strategies to deal with Maoist menace. All India Congress Committee
(AICC) general secretary B K Hariprasad, who is in charge of party
affairs in Chhattisgarh, clarified his party position on Wednesday after
Chhavindra Karma, son of slain Congress leader Mahendra Karma, made a
public announcement for re-launch of Salwa Judum from May 25–the third
anniversary of Maoist attack that killed frontline state Congress
leaders. “We have nothing to do with Salwa Judum. It’s the job of
government of the day to fight Maoists and not of Chhavindra Karma or
any other individual”, he said at a press conference.
