Operation Green Hunt

After carnage perpetrated by Maoists at Silda camp at Jangalmahal in West Midnapore P.Chidambaram has apparently softened his stand and asked the Maoist to abjure violence for 72 hrs and come to the negotiation table. What’s interesting, this time limit rather stands vague as no body knows when it starts and naturally when it’d end. In fact, he buys time before launching Operation Green Hunt. He’s not confident of the success of this Operation either because of the soft attitudes of Shibu Soren and Nitish Kumar towards the Maoists as was conspicuous by their absence in the last meeting on this issue held in West Bengal. He’s aware unless there arrives a consensus among the CMs of the participant states about this operation, it’s unlikely to yield desired result. So he’s again decided to sit over the issue particularly with the truant CMs and called upon them to meet once again. Now, it remains to be seen if they react earnestly to such call or skip the meeting as they deliberately did earlier. Fate of the proposed Operation perhaps depends on them.
