Naxalite problem has begun demanding national attention. What with Maoist insurgency assuming menacing proportions in neighbouring Nepal and Naxalite groups in some of our own states becoming aggressive and bold, this problem needs to be attended to urgently. Already there are disturbing reports of possible impact on Bihar and Uttar Pradesh which share borders with Nepal. To make matters worse both Bihar and UP are today standing out for total breakdown of law and order among the Indian states. The Union Government is favouring talks with the Naxalites while advocating strong measures whenever and wherever required. The Andhra Pradesh government has held one round of talks. But before the second round is held confrontation between the police and the Naxalites broke out dimming the chances of further negotiations. It is difficult to say how talks can help since what the Naxalites demand is invariably not acceptable to any democratic government. The solution lies in what Smt. Sonia Gandhi had said sometime back that economic development of the neglected rural areas alone can solve the Naxalite problem. Time to pay attention to rural areas.
