Bastar IG accuses Naxalites of manipulating Bastar tribals

Bastar IG Sundarraj Pattilingam said that the top leaders of the Naxalite organization live in big cities. They are giving their children a safe life by educating them in big cities like Hyderabad. While the innocent tribals of Bastar are being misled and pushed into Naxalite violence.

Jagdalpur:13 Naxalites were killed in an encounter in Gadhchiroli, Maharashtra. Identification revealed that 3 of the killed Naxalites are from the Sukma and Bijapur districts of Bastar. On which the Bastar IG Sundarraj Pattilingam said that by misleading the tribal villagers of Bastar, the big Naxal cadres of Andhra Pradesh have been sending them everywhere to die and they are living safe lives by living in big cities themselves. Whether it is the matter of not appointing the tribals of Bastar to large posts in the Naxalite organization or, in the case of an encounter with the police in ground fighting, locals of Bastar are being used as cannon fodders by the Naxal leadership.

The latest case is from Maharashtra of Gadhchiroli, where 13 bodies were identified after an encounter. Then it was found that the bodies of three of them are of Naxalites living in the Sukma and Bijapur districts of Bastar. Confirming this, Bastar IG Sundarraj Pattilingam said that the top leaders of the Naxalite organization themselves live in big cities. They are giving their children a safe life by educating and residing in big cities like Hyderabad. While the innocent tribals of Bastar are being misled and pushed into violence.

The IG further said that when the local tribals of Bastar are associated with the Naxalite organization, they are being treated with secondary status. They are left to die. Whether the matter is of Bastar or other states. Wherever the Naxalite organization is active, the tribals of Bastar are being made to stand in the first line of the encounter in order to mislead them. Bastar IG also said that now the tribals of Bastar should understand the double face of the Naxalites and should lead a safe life by connecting with the mainstream.
