Balladeer Gaddar says encounter one-sided

Hyderabad, Oct 6 (UNI) Balladeer Gaddar, who along with revolutionary writer Vara Vara Rao brought the then CPI (ML-People's War) to the discussion table during the abortive peace talks the Congress Government initiated soon after it came to power in 2004, today termed the Anantapur encounter as ''one-sided.'' He alleged the Rajasekhara Reddy Government which came to power by offering to hold peace talks with the naxalites was now indulging in state violence.

''The government got 300 ''revolutionaries'' killed after it came to power,'' he said.

Gaddar asserted that the people ''who taught lessons to the earlier governments which indulged in state viiolence, will also teach a befitting lesson to the Rajasekhara Reddy Government.'' UNI JRK GM VD ND1844
