New Delhi : Notwithstanding the negative response of Maoists to its peace offers, Government is optimistic that the Left extremists would agree to talks once they “feel the heat” of the ongoing security operations.
“Once they (Naxals) feel the heat and pressure, they will talk,” Union Home Secretary G K Pillai said Tuesday.
In an interview to a private news channel, he also said the governments of Naxal-affected states were cooperating with the Centre with regard to the ways and means to tackle the extremist menace.
The five states most affected by the menace – Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal – are ruled by non-Congress governments.
