Some states want Maoism to continue: CRPF chief
Outgoing CRPF director-general Dilip Trivedi on Thursday said some states had vested interests in letting Maoist violence continue.
NEW DELHI: Outgoing CRPF director-general Dilip Trivedi on Thursday made serious allegations of Maoism benefitting Naxal-affected states. Trivedi, who is retiring at the end of this month, said certain states had vested interest in letting Maoist violence continue as it helped them get massive central funds. He also said the government was not serious about regulating sale of explosives whose easy availability to Maoists had led to increasing deaths of force personnel.
In a free-wheeling conversation with journalists, the DG even blamed government policies and systemic problems for non-resolution of Jammu and Kashmir and northeast problems. Without talking about the Army, he even said there was no need for Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and that the simple Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) had enough protection for forces.
He even hinted at various committees and studies conducted by the government for welfare of forces as waste of public money.
