Loss of human life is of course unfortunate. More so, when such loss was otherwise avoidable, and particularly so, when it is on account of detestable bloody conflicts.
In view of the serious allegations of murder, packaged as "encounter", and conflicting claim by the police; the demand for a credible enquiry becomes just inevitable. However, the call for avenging the death is as disturbing. One would shudder to think that this would come in the form of more derailment of passenger trains, mine blasting of passenger buses and beheading of unarmed civilians being tagged as "informers", apart from ambushing of troops of state security personnel. It is interesting to note that this (purportedly) official statement makes no mention of Azad's efforts for peace describing it as the cause for his "murder" as had been done in an anonymous dispatch just a day back. It also frankly owns up Hem Pandey - the other slain one, as one of their own, otherwise identified as a journalist (ref.: < http://www.zeenews.com/news638496.html>). The repeated use of "June 1", obviously for "July 1", is somewhat intriguing. Maybe the pressure of "revolutionary war" is telling. Quote Will Chidambaram expect CPI (Maoist) to sit for talks with his blood on his hands of com. Azad and com. Hem Pandey? Unquote That hardly makes any sense. If Chidambaram is expected to sit for peace talks, as he ought to, even after repeated slaughters of security personnel and civilians by the Maoists; why should there be a different standard for the Maoists?
