Chhattisgarh government urged to reconstruct Vanvasi Chetna Ashram
It actively prevented others from helping in rehabilitation of the displaced people



NEW DELHI: The Campaign for Peace and Justice in Chhattisgarh has urged the Chhattisgarh government to declare Salwa Judum “illegal and unconstitutional,” and appealed to Chief Minister Raman Singh to fulfil his promise of compensating and rehabilitating the people displaced by this outfit and naxal violence.
In an open letter to the Chief Minister, the Campaign activists have demanded that the government reconstruct the Vanvasi Chetna Ashram, which the district administration pulled down dubbing it an illegal construction.

Fresh Salwa Judum attacks in Chinger PDF Print E-mail

A note from Himanshu Kumar of VCA and the FIRs filed by villagers whose paddy stock was burnt.

Our democratic government is too sensitive to leave anyone out of celebrating Holi, so in Dantewada it itself played Holi with poor tribals by burning their paddy stock in Chinger village across Indavati river on 9th March SPOs and police burnt all paddy of all villagers. We found people crying and taking shelter under the tree as their houses were already burnt down by Salwa Judum.

Dear Mr. Singh,
 
As an elected representative sworn to uphold the Constitution, we would like to ask you why you support the illegal burning of houses and property, displacement of villagers as well as the killing and rapes that have been carried out by the Salwa Judum and security forces in Dantewada district, Bastar. Now that it has been clearly established by the NHRC and accepted by your government as shown by your own affidavits to the Supreme Court that Salwa Judum is an armed organization which has burnt houses and destroyed property, how do you continue to publicly justify and praise the Salwa Judum? Is it constitutional to support a vigilante movement which has caused such destruction? Naxalite illegality does not justify state illegality.
