Agnivesh hopes five abducted jawans will be released today
Raipur, February 10, 2011
The five abducted Chhattisgarh Armed Force (CAF) jawans by naxalites in Narayanpur district are likely to be released on Friday. The naxals will hand over the jawans to the team of mediators led by Swami Agnivesh in Bastar’s forest.
Agnivesh and his team comprising Gautam Navlakha, PUCL’s general secretary Kavita Shrivastava, V Suresh, Manu Singh and Harish Dhawan reached state capital from New Delhi on Thursday morning and proceeded to Jagdalpur through road route after a brief stay at Mana airport. While interacting with the mediapersons Agnivesh hoped that all the jawans would be released on Friday.
He said the government too had assured that the security personnel, police or cops from Intelligence Bureau (IB) would not accompany his team while it would go into the jungles to talk to naxals for release of the abducted jawans.
On rising naxal violence in the state, Agnivesh said peace should prevail and enmity should dissolve. On holding talks with naxals, he said initiatives had been taken previous year and hoped it would continue in future too. “The doors for talks are still open and the Union Home Secretary GK Pillai has assured that no hindrance would occur in this direction in future,” he said.
Agnivesh and his team will stay at Jagdalpur on Wednesday night and then would move ahead for release of the jawans. He, however, did not disclose his Friday’s schedule and said he would talk to mediapersons once the jawans would get released.
