NEW DELHI, Jan. 22 : CPI leaders today met the President, Mrs Pratibha Patil, to seek a high-level judicial probe into the killing of 17 innocent tribals by Salwa Judum volunteers in a “fake encounter” in Dantewada in Chhatisgarh on 8 January.
The CPI national secretary, Mr D Raja, and member of the national executive, Mr C R Bakshi, handed over a memorandum to the President. Demanding dismantling of Salwa Judum, the CPI leaders said there were frequent fake encounters in the name of killing Naxalites.
In the Dantewada incident, independent journalists from Bhadrachalam in Andhra Pradesh visited the site and filed several reports confirming the fake encounter.
The CPI memorandum said the spot was visited by the CPI district secretary, Mr Manish Kunjam, president of the All India Adivasi Mahasabha, and he too came to the conclusion that the killings were a fake encounter by the police.
