I can see lots of people in this thread have condemned the Maoists' atrocities, killing of 13000 people...... But, why people do not acknowledge that there is an equal or even greater degree of atrocities and killing by RNA. Couples of weeks back, I was reading a news which says 3 civilian(Non-maoists) when were going to find work in India some 3 years back were captured and killed by RNA suspecting they are maoist. Actually there are many many cases which are not public yet. I dont believe this number of 13,000 which all the people want to mention. I personally know a family, whose 2 sons were killed in the name of Maoist and now you know what the rest of family memebers doing? The father, daughter-in-law and the daughter are in Maoist army. And there are many such cases/ I know there are families in same situation whose members are killed by Maoist army too. My point is, it is really difficult to judge which side is to be blamed most. Another important point to mention, our Security force has perhaps one of the highest amount of spending( as a percentage of total outlay) in world, but look at their efficiency and also their honesty to maintaining law and order. With such a huge amount of spending at hand they should have been able to provide law and order that cause minimum possible killing.Peole may say law and order and not tangible but i believe that should be directly related to spending if the state is really commited to maintaing human rights. Otherwise, they should not be allowed to use a rupee from national treasury, KG can pay them from his personal fund if he wants.
