New Delhi, Jan 28 (PTI) In a strong message to Maoist groups, the Government today said anti-naxal operations would stop only if Left-wing extremists abjure violence and decide to come to the negotiation table.
"...If they (naxal) wish to come for talks after abjuring violence, they are welcome. If there is no response to the offer, the anti-naxal strategy, being formulated, will continue," Union Home Minister P Chidambaram told reporters here after his meeting with Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren.
Clearing the air on reports that Jharkhand had halted the anti-naxal offensive, the Home Minister said, "The Chief Minister came with his two deputies, Home Secretary and DGP.
"He (Soren) told me that there is no change in policy of Jharkhand government and that he is on board with other chief ministers of naxal-affected states on the strategy being worked out," Chidambaram said.
