nion Home Minister P Chidambaram on Wednesday urged the Naxals to lay down arms and come to the negotiation table for the speedier resolution of their problems. Maoist guerrillas should give up their "armed liberation struggle" to pave the way for dialogue and the development of violence-hit states, home minister P Chidambaram said on Wednesday, a day after the decapitated body of a Jharkhand police officer who had been abducted by guerrillas was found. Addressing a press conference, Chidambaram also made it clear that the government does not view the confrontation with the Naxalites as a war. The home minister said the governments of states affected by Maoist violence had been asked to discuss the issues of development, neglect, deprivation and government structure in case they give up arms. Chidambaram said surrendering arms was a must as the government and the Maoists could claim to represent the same group of people. Chidambaram's comments come a day after Jharkhand police inspector Francis Induwar, who had been abducted on Sep 30, was found killed on the Ranchi-Jamshedpur highway.
