‘Surrender or be ready for an assault,’ is Kerala Police’s message to Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres as part of their new scheme to deal with the rebels active in the State, reports The New Indian Express on August 22. After years of adopting a soft approach towards Maoists – only resorting to defensive tactics after Maoists attacked – the Police are going on the offensive with their ‘Surrender or Assault’ scheme. Under the scheme, Maoists will be given a time frame to surrender, failing which the Police will launch an assault via a series of offensive operations. The State Government’s move to bring in a new scheme to crush Maoists in the State signals the mounting pressure it is under to act tough against rebels in line with the Centre’s policy on Left Wing Extremism (LWE). State Director General of Police (DGP), Loknath Behera saying, the Police have been lenient in dealing with LWE in Kerala, said, “We cannot continue like this. The state needs to act tough owing to a spurt in Maoist activities in the state. Our ‘surrender-cum-rehabilitation’ policy failed to bring desired results. Under the new scheme, we will give Maoists a chance to surrender and launch assault if they refuse. Since it is illegal to use forest areas as hideouts, we will launch offensive operations if we come across any intruder in forests.” The Government had launched the ‘surrender-cum-rehabilitation’ policy in May last year, and so far, it has seemingly evoked no response from the rebels. Intelligence officers said there are only four Malayalees in the LWE wing in Kerala. The rest of the cadre are from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. “Around 60 cadre are from outside the state which is why Maoists are not embracing the earlier scheme,” said an officer involved in anti-Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] Operation.

A Maoist ‘deputy commander’, wanted in connection with several incidents of violence, surrendered in Dantewada District of Chhattisgarh on August 25, reports The Times of India. Muchaki Budra alias Naresh (32), who was carrying a reward of INR 800,000 on his head, turned himself in before Dantewada, SP, Abhishek Pallava. Budra, a native of Jagargunda area in Sukma District, and active as deputy commander of military platoon no. 24 in Malangir area committee of Maoists in Dantewada, surrendered while citing disappointment with the "hollow ideology" of Maoists, SP, Pallava said. "He was instrumental in carrying out several Maoist attacks, including at the house of Congress leader Awadhesh Gautam at Nakulnar village in 2010 in which two civilians and a Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] were killed, and on a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) team in Kirandul wherein six security personnel and a civilian lost their lives in 2012," Pallava said. Budra joined the CPI-Maoist in 2007 and was elevated as ‘deputy commander’ in 2010, SP, Pallava said.

In the poster, Maoists have accused the police of killing CPI-Maoist Manuguru Area Committee leader Jadi Veeraswamy and Communist Party of India-Marxist-Leninist-New Democracy (CPI-ML-New Democracy) State Committee member Linganna in fake encounters. Both the deceased Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] were arrested by the Police and killed in fake encounters. They appealed to the public to condemn the fake encounters and oppose Police coming into forests and villages for combing operations. If the fake encounters were not stopped the leaders of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would be punished, Maoists warned.
