Telangana Minister Seethakka urges Centre to halt Operation Kagar and engage in peace talks with Maoists.
Telangana Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Minister Dansari Anasuya (Seethakka) has urged the Centre to stop Operation Kagar and hold peace talks with the outlawed Communist Party of India (Maoists).
Representatives of Bharat Bachao organisation, including Gade Innaiah and M.F. Gopinath, met with her at Praja Bhavan in Hyderabad on Tuesday (April 29, 2025), appealing for her intervention to stop the Operation Kagar.
Responding to their appeal, the Minister emphasised the need to create a peaceful environment in central India and other Maoist-affected States. She stressed that governments must act constitutionally, respecting the special rights and administrative arrangements in tribal areas under Schedule 5 of the Constitution.
The representatives expressed concern over the presence of thousands of security forces in the Karregutta areas along the Telangana-Chhattisgarh border, which has panicked the tribal population. They warned that if Operation Kagar is not halted immediately, it could lead to large-scale loss of life.
As a member of the Adivasi community, Ms. Seethakka expressed her commitment to protecting the rights of indigenous people and advocated for a peaceful resolution to the issue through dialogue.
