Dantewada a wake up call: PC
Posted: Thursday , Apr 15, 2010 at 1925 hrs
Home Minister P Chidambaram on Thursday said the Dantewada massacre was a "wake up call" for the country and asked for a collective resolve to defeat the Maoists, whose aim was to seize political power.
"Let us have no illusions about what they (Naxals) want.
It is seizure of political power. The People's Liberation Guerrilla Army will be converted into People's Liberation Army," said Chidambaram replying to a day-long debate in the Lok Sabha, which saw Opposition targeting the Congress-led coalition over "division" within itself on tackling the issue.
"Naxals call this war. They call us enemies. They call this hallowed hall (Parliament) a pigsty," he said.
Dismissing reports that the 76 slain personnel of the CRPF were caught napping by the Naxals, the minister said they died fighting, having killed eight Maoists.
