Mumbai: Human rights activist Binayak Sen said here on Monday that there was no question of his being a Naxal sympathiser. “Neither am I a Naxal sympathiser nor [an] opposer of Naxals,” Dr. Sen told journalists at the Press Club.

“I believe that violence, either of the state or the non-state actors, does not cure any problem,” he said. Launching a scathing attack on Salwa Judum, he said that it had become a “Frankenstein's monster which can no longer be controlled. The writ of the government no longer works with them.”

He said that contrary to the Chhattisgarh government's claim in the Supreme Court that the Salwa Judum had ceased to exist, it still continued its operations.

He said that after seeing the widespread displacement of villagers in 2005-06, human rights activists published their findings in a report ‘When a state makes war against its own people.' “It [Salwa Judum] is not a people's programme. It is a programme funded by the government, planned and executed by it,” Dr. Sen said.

Dr. Sen talked mainly about three issues: hunger problem in India, problem of displacement and land acquisition, and sedition.

Sorry, Dr. Sen, I oppose Naxal Movement as it has last its direction, long ago and have become Anti-People & Anti-Progress by indulging in killing of innocent tribals & villagers, whose interest for which they claim to fight for and by blasting bridges, roads, schools, hospitals and what have you and also .

Violence of State or any group is condemnable, by all, without any reservations!
