A retired Army officer today approached the Supreme Court to restrain the Odisha government from meeting Maoists' demands for release of their jailed members in exchange of an abducted Orissa MLA.
Major General (retd) Gangurdep Bakshi pleaded with the apex court that the state government should be restrained from releasing the Naxals as they were captured by security forces, which had to put their lives on stake to nab them.
Bakshi, a counter-terrorism operations expert, submitted that his petition be given urgent hearing as the deadline set by the Naxals would come to an end today at 5 pm.
Agreeing to hear his plea, a bench of justices T S Thakur and Gyan Sudha Misra, however, pulled up Bakshi for moving the court so late.
The apex court further said it would require the help of the Centre's law officer in the matter and listed the matter for hearing tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Maoists have decided not to free ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MLA Jhina Hikaka until all the 29 prisoners are released. As the deadline for fulfillment of demands put forwarded by the Maoists ended at 5 this evening, Comrade Aruna of Andhra Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee of CPI (Maoist) has said the fate of the MLA will be decided in the 'Praja Court'. She said the MLA will remain with the Maoists till the Odisha Government set all the 29 prisoners belonging to Chasi Mulia Adivasi Sangha, the frontal wing of CPI (Maoist) and CPI (Maoist) and cases against them are withdrawn. In a message to different media organsiations, Aruna said the Maoists dont have faith on the assurances of the Odisha Government. She also made it clear that the Maoists will not extend deadline for fulfillment of demands in exchange of the MLA, Jhina Hikaka, the tribal MLA from Laxmipur, has been abducted by the Andhra Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee of CPI (Maoist) since 24th of last month when he was returning home in Koraput district of Odisha.
The fresh message of the Maoists rejecting offer of the state government to free only 25 prisoners on bail has come as a great shock. It has shattered the hope of the state government on the release of the MLA today.
