'Chidambaram's talks offer to Maoists a drama'

New Delhi, Feb 26: Maoist leader Kishenji's aide has termed the offer of talks by Home Minister P Chidambaram as a 'drama'.

Speaking to TV channel, Raju, an aide of Kishenji, said, "Chidambaram's offer is of 72 hours. He really doesn't want to talk. "

Raju further said, "He wants to control and dominate the people of jangalmahal, who are talking about their rights and he wants to silence them."

When asked on the telephone number given by the Home Ministry to fax their proposal, Raju said, "He (Chidambaram) has laid many traps. This is Chidambaram's 'natak' (drama)."

"We are willing to ceasefire for 72 days, not just 72 hours if state terror stops," he said.
