Udupi, Jun 19: Home Minister K J George said that a Cabinet debate is need over Justice Somashekhar Commission's final report on Church attack.
Speaking to media persons after chairing the review meet of development works in the seven naxal affected districts, in Udupi the home minister said that the interim report of the Justice Somashekhar Commission had offended certain issues and also personalities for the Church attack in this region.
However, the final report that appeared was totally against the interim report. Hence, there needs serious contemplation over the authenticity of the final report before implementing the recommendations made in the report. It might have come out under certain pressures, he added.
Naxal Surrender Package
Mr George said that the ministry will henceforth look into effective delivery of naxal surrender package and also naxal rehabilitation package.
He said the State government does not treat Maoists as enemies, rather they are the people who work and speak on certain ideologies.
“When other affected states are taking stringent action against the Maoists, there are possibilities of them making an entry into Karnataka. The government always welcomes the Maoists to hold talks. Besides, the Maoist sympathisers are appealed to act as catalysts between the government and Maoists,” he said.
They should convince the Maoists to come forward to deliberate on the problems and their demands. The sympathisers should take up the initiative to be the link. He said the surrender package is now doubled. The most backward and tribal areas are prone to Maoist menace. Special drive is launched. Besides Forest Department is involved in the process of development in the Maoist affected regions.
The shelter facilities and employment opportunities for the surrendered Maoists and also the people in the affected areas are the priority of the new policies, he added.
