Maoists are 'patriot of a kind': Arundhati​

Bhubaneshwar: Glorifying Maoists as 'patriot of a kind', controversial writer Arundhati Roy accused Prime Minister and Union Home minister of "violating the Constitution and PESA (Panchayat Extention of Scheduled Areas) act by allowing corporates to use tribal land."



"Patriot of a kind, they (Maoists) are. But here patriotism is very complicated. So at the moment what people are fighting for is to keep this country from falling apart," Roy told reporters after addressing a meeting on "Cultural resistance to war on people in corporate interest", organised by a magazine considered to be pro-left.

To a question, the writer-cum-activist, however, said she did not think there could be only Maoist revolution for solving problems. "There will be a new kind of alliance of all kinds of people," said Roy, whose visit here was opposed by saffron outfits like RSS and ABVP for her remarks on Kashmir.

Stating that PESA Act was enacted to safeguard rights of tribals and others living in scheduled areas, the Booker Prize winner said that Prime Minister and home minister were saying that forest land was needed for other purposes.

"They (PM and HM) enact laws and violate it," Roy alleged claiming that local people, particularly tribals had every right over the land, forest and water in their areas.



Besides PM and HM, the police, CRPF and BSF also violate laws framed under the Constitution, she alleged.

Accusing successive governments at the Centre of "frequently" using military force in places like Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and north-east, Roy said while people in Pakistan are fighting against military rule, "some people here want to use brute force to suppress people's voice."

"Force was being used by the government and not the naxalites," she alleged.

I love how she opposes development at every conceivable step and then b*****s and moans about the 'plight' of the tribals.

Has she gone insane?... Does she not follow the news where so many people were killed by the Naxals?

Patriots who murder their own soldiers, cause harm to civilians and support international Terrorists.

That's a little contradictory

Hope she knows he meaning of Patriotism.


Her past actions do not seem to suggest so.

Sedition charge still hangs over Arundhati Roy's head

Yes they show the patriotism every now and then by looting villagers , killing security of their country and blowing up schools, hospitals etc..

She can follow that patriotism too.. she needs to spend time on internet to study how to make a local bomb and then kill few and be patriotic .

the Orissa tribals (supported her) infact handled BJP goons quite well by hurling shoes on those BJP goons who were protesting Arundhati's arrival there. The

And the lady has enough courage to tell the media that BJP has the right to protest and she has the right to speak the truth so she didnt mind those goons' protest
