Bijapur: In a trailblazing development that contains the possibility of heralding an end to decades of bloodshed in Left-wing extremism-affected Bastar division, the Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) has expressed agreement vis-a-vis “conditional” peace parleys with the Chhattisgarh dispensation.
“We are always prepared for negotiation in a conducive atmosphere for which the proscription on our party, the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army and public organisations be lifted. We must be provided the opportunity to work in the open, there should be cessation of ‘air action’, security forces’ camps removed from areas of conflict and our incarcerated leaders released,” DSZC spokesman Vikalp said in a release.
