Abduction of VIPs by Maoists in India is a problem
of deep concern; however government is doing little to contain this. The Maoists recently have
abducted Chhattisgarh district collector and demanded the release of their
eight jailed associates and a halt on security forces' action against the
rebels. Previous experience prompted Maoists to undertake the hideous
act. A district collector abducted at gunpoint by rebels is a shocking incident
and bolt in nation’s psyche.
And if the abducted person is a
minister or MP, the situation will be quite different. In India politicians are
the most valued people and their abduction is more serious than those
bureaucrats. Why do the Maoists target bureaucrats when more demanding people
are politicians?
Sukma district collector Alex
Paul Menon( curious name like Mathew Pillai)
may be a Nair or a Christian but
no communal leaders, who often beat the bush, are seen raising voice for the rescue of him. Whatever
may be the alternatives the government is going to seek; it should not yield to
the demands of Maoists. Maoists are
never going to save this country by their insurgency and it is highly awful on
the part of them to torture a person who is in no way responsible for the
plight of Maoists. It is highly cruel to torture a person suffering from
asthma.
