Jamshedpur: Holding both the Maoists and
the government for the plight of tribals, Jharkhand Disom
Party (JDP) founder President Salkhan Murmu on Sunday expressed
apprehension about the proposed `operation greenhunt` in the
Naxal-affected areas of Jharkhand, West Bengal and Orissa.
"The adivasi community would get sandwiched between
the Naxals and the operation greenhunt which may turn it
operation redhunt," Murmu told a press conference here after
holding a meeting of JDP.
Mulling over the possible impact of Operation Green
hunt, the JDP leadership held both the Naxal groups as well
as the government responsible for violating `human rights
provisions`.
Referring to a recent statement of Maoist leader
Koteshwar Rao Alias Kishenji that 95 per cent of its cadre
were adivasis, Murmu regretted that though the ultra outfit
had been calling bandhs frequently over sundry issues, they
never bothered to call a shutdown over an issue protecting the
tribals interest.
"It seems that the Naxals did not have any tribal
agenda in regard with hasa (land), Bhasa (language), Pesa
(panchayat election), displacement and migrations," he said.
Naxals were exploiting poor Adivasis for personal
gains, he said alleging that the naxals only indulged in
destructive mission harming the interest of innocent adivasis,
Murmu said.
