Thank God this guy is a relic of the past and all he can do is bark! I cannot imagine a situation where this kind of thinking actually influences state policy!! This guy has virtually absolved the murderous maoists of any crime! A bunch of thugs powered by pseudo ideology and violence, creating havoc in any country will be opposed with the maximum force possible by any government. I guess for comrade Bidwai it's ok if China massacres a couple of hundred unarmed protestors, but it's 'repression' when criminals are hunted down by a country's army...of course the fact that the country is officially 'Hindu' plays perfectly into the good comrade's sense of secular indignation. Not a word is said of the more than 10000 people killed by these maoist hordes in the last eight years. Not a word is mentioned about the absolute refusal of the maoists to be involved in any kind of civilized political process. Some pearls of wisdom from the Marxist saint: "India should not worry much about China and Pakistan becoming Nepal's substitute arms-suppliers"; The Maoists political platform: "a representative, radicalised, democracy"...give me a break, and get this guy some reality soup!
