Chidambaram hopeful on Kashmir, pessimistic on Maoist violence

New Delhi:
Home Minister P. Chidambaram Wednesday expressed the hope that the
government would be able to reach out to protesters in Jammu and
Kashmir soon to pull the state out of "the vicious cycle of
stone-pelting", but admitted that it would take several years to
contain Maoist violence.
"I am afraid Jammu and Kashmir is now caught in a vicious cycle of
stone pelting, lathicharge, teargassing and firing, leading to
casualties and resulting in more stone pelting," Chidambaram said in
his inaugural address to a three-day meet of police chiefs of
various states and security agencies.
"It is, however, my hope that in the next few days, we would be able
to find that elusive starting point from where we could reach out to
the protesters, reassure them of their rights and dignity, restore
peace and order redeem the promises made and restart the process of
dialogue that will lead to a solution," he said.
"We are concerned that we have not been able to stop the vicious
cycle in which the state is caught," said the home minister. "The
security forces, however, have been instructed to act with great
restraint."
Observing that the conflict with Maoists would be a long-drawn one,
the home minister pointed out that "patience is the key" to
resolution of the conflict.
"We made it clear (to the states in November 2009) that it would
take several years before we were able to contain the CPI (Maoists)
and roll back their offensive," said Chidambaram.
"I think the people of India understand - even if the critics do not
- that the conflict will be a long drawn one, that patience is the
key, that mistakes will be made and the security forces need
material and moral support to carry out their tasks," said the home
minister.
He regretted the fact that the Maoists had refused to respond to the
central government's call to abjure violence and begin talks.
"We have called upon the CPI (Maoists) to abjure violence and come
for talks. I regret to say that there has been no direct and
credible response to our offers of talks," he added.
