Cat’s Eye has noticed an increasing emphasis on a particular form of morality in the guise of a post-war resurgence of society. This is evident on the part of all sectors of society – not only by those in power but religious leaders, key officials in the police force and leaders of educational institutions as well as the media.
People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) watches with pain the fight between security forces and Maoists in some parts of Chattissgarh. While it is a clear case of war against one’s own people by the state, Maoists too with adoption of violent means of struggle has undermined the liberal and democratic spirit of the Indian Constitution. While innocent civilian are losing lives, the ongoing mindless fight between the two parties is a clear case of impasse in which there is and will be no winner.
We demand a ceasefire between the Government of India, the respective state governments and the CPI (Maoist), and peace talks. The Government must initiate talks. The Maoists must respond. We, as citizens and concerned people are willing to help in whatever way possible.
