Rebel's Rebellion

It's somewhere near Chakuliya, We met Marshal- soft spoken figure, who was once a terror in this region. This rebel has left the company of Kishanji. When? Why? This what he told to our team.

[1] Why did you leave CPI( Maoist)?
Because I felt that party is cheating Tribals. You go through document called -" Party Programme". Go through Article 24. It says many things that the party will do for tribals. Tell me , has party done anything that has been enlisted in Article 24. In that Article, party says it will protect culture, language etc of tribals. Many of such lines are written in Indian Constitution too. Are tribals right protected just for they are mentioned in such articles? CPI[Maoists] want to come to power by putting gun on tribals' shoulders and then they will kick on our back. I have realised and so have come out. Moreover tribals can organise themselves. They do not need outsiders like Kishanji.

[2]Your interview was published in Tehleka. In same journal Varvara Rao said that you are a government implant and your views pertain to Salwa Judum view. Your take on this?
I am glad that Ms Mittal gave me window. As far as Varvara Rao is concerned, you can't expect anything else from people like him. They all are product of a fascist ideology. Till you follow them , they will heap all praise on you. The moment you start questioning them, they will declare you- Harmad or Salwa Judum. If government were behind me, why would I hide myself in Jungles. I would go and get setlled in Kolkata. In fact I ask you people. Varvara Rao is roaming freely. Government does not arrest him. Why? He must have a pact with government. He may a PWG guy and may be giving tip off to government on MCC followers.
[3] Your views about Salwa Judum?
I have learnt that one Congress leader raised it. If people do not want to be part of something, no government or non-government actor can force them to raise it. If people do not want Salwa Judum, it will die down. Similarly if people do not want Maoists, they will also die down. In this area, reverse days of Maoists have started. Initially people supported them for they were fed up with CPI[M]and Jharkhandis. But they have realised that path shown by Maoists leads to harakiri. So they are not supporting Maoists. The latter are frustrated. In that frustration they kill innocent people.
[4] But Intellectuals condemn Salwa Judum and Many of them support Maoists?
Intellectuals support ideologies. They have hardly any idea about ground reality. They call our area jungle-mahal. Do you see any mahal here? They come here; stay for two-three days; and then write big things. But you do not under stand tribals in 2/3 days. You have to stay for years to understand nuances.
[5] But Kishanji is so popular among tribals?
Who says? He is popular among the Kolkata people who see TV. Some think that he is representative of Tribals. But how can he be representative of tribals.
[6] What are Your future plans?
I will raise a true people's movement which will be by a tribal, for a tribal and of tribals where violence will neither be a means nor an end.
