KOLKATA: A day after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee asked Maoists to return to the mainstream, a civil rights group on Friday claimed it would act as an “interlocutor” in initiating talks with the Naxals.

“We will shortly sit with the main stakeholders (Maoists) in junglemahal and they have agreed to it, while the state government has given a go-ahead to the discussion which will be open,” Sujato Bhadra, one of the five members of ‘Bandimukti Committee’, told reporters after meeting Banerjee.

The meeting at Writers’ Building was attended by the state’s chief secretary, home secretary, DGP, IGP (law and order) and special city police commissioner. Bhadra, however, declined to disclose when and where the meeting with the Maoists would be held with the six-member team of the committee. (PTI)
