If terrorism is violent and ill-legitimate thing which terrorises the nation from outside then Naxalism is something which engulfs the country from the inside. It seems our government has more sympathy with Naxalites, may be they are very own people. Had terrorists from outside hit the bus or killed 76 police personnel in Dhantewada, then it would have become an international incident and headlines. But, here these Naxalites got away with it.

And the worst part is our politics, even home minister refused to accept them as terrorists. Some political parties are supporting Naxalites from outside and some are watching it as mute spectators. We have social activists, thinkers and authors like Arundhati Roy who is openly supporting the Naxals and glorifying them through her articles. The media is too keen taking interviews of these Naxalites. Question is that if Arundhati Roy and media can reach them, than why our police can’t? Is it lack of political will or our poor trained forces?

In my view, it is time to treat them as terrorists. They should be detained or killed. Government should take strong actions against them without any delay as Naxals are using military style tactics to kill innocent people and they are not ready to resolve their problems in a peaceful conduct. This is the only way to teach them a lesson as they are trying to take law in their hands.
