While Chidambaram has been extremely successful in galvanising the Union Home Ministry and the paramilitary forces under it into a coherent force and launch the much needed Operation Green Hunt against the brutal CPI (Maoist) which in its present form can be easily compared with the ruthless and dreaded Schutzstaffel or SS of Nazi Party of Hitler’s Germany. However, the decision of Shibu Soren to have a soft approach and insistence on talks would surely spoil all the chances of the forces to track down the Maoist leaders and bring them to justice. The question is what would the US Federal agencies have done, if a governor of any of the fifty states of the US had taken an independent line to go soft on Osama and his men and carried an independent initiative to talk and negotiate with Al Qaeda? To the least, he would surely have been charged of treason against the state. The moot issue here is that if India has to survive this century and beyond, it has to have strong federal laws like the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 of the US which would put its jurisdiction, if needed, much beyond its territory and also enforce federal laws in matters that were hitherto the exclusive domain of the states and the local police. If the Maoist leaders get safe haven in Jharkhand when chased in Chhattisgarh or Orissa, it can no more be a state's law & order issue and incidentally, the usual pretext of politicians to prevent federal action on their turf. India needs to make its agencies work the way FBI and the US Marshal Service works abroad and inside its territory. Only then, the next mayhem from within or outside will be avoided and many precious lives can be saved.
