New Delhi, Apr 22 (PTI) Raising questions on the government's policy on tackling Naxalism, Hindutva ideologue K N Govindacharya today said violence by the ultra-Leftists was "no terrorism" but a result of a "failing state".
The former BJP leader alleged that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Home Minister P Chidambaram and members of National Security Council were "solely responsible for the massacre of 76 security personnel in Dantewada recently.
"This act of ambush is no terrorism, it must be understood that of the nearly 1,000 locals who were involved in the ambush, most of them were common poor citizens of the locality," Govindacharya told reporters here.
Attributing the failure of the state and political system for the rise of Naxal movement, he said, "the constitutionally acknowledged system of state is not helping the common man. It is perceived to be working for the privileged few at the cost of deprived masses.
It is amazing that anyone can say the ambush of India's paramilitary forces is not an act of terrorism. Naxalites and Maoists are exploiting the deprivation of the tribals. Tribals in India have lived since time immemorial with the mainstream without any violence. If the Naxal violence is not crushed, they will move from the jungles to the towns to exploit more deprived sections of society to take to arms. This will spell the end of India as a nation.
