Remove the economic disparity to end left-wing extremism

Union Home Minister P Chidambaram has rightly said that left wing extremism poses a major threat to our nation and is the most violent movement the country faces today.
Inaugurating a national workshop on development strategies for implementation of rural development schemes in 60 naxal affected districts under the Integrated Action Plan, Chidambaram has rightly said that the greatest challenge is to establish governance in areas affected by Left wing Extremism. But he missed the vital point that is economic disparity in society to illustrate and without bridging the gulf between the rich and the poor, Left-wing extremism can not be controlled.
Without acting on the ground level and monitoring the developmental projects under way in villages closely with honesty and sincerity by both Central and state governments, the left -wing extremism will continue to rise and the time is not far off that if the way economic disparity is growing out of the government’s all out move for economic reforms, the situation may go out of control, though the government machinery is fast loosing control over their bloody activities.
There is no doubt that economic development has taken place because of economic reforms but the beneficiaries are very small in number and the larger population who lives in villages has been left unaddressed economically due to massive corruption from top to bottom in the government. The money which comes from the projects set up because of economic liberalisation is gulped largely by top-heavy bureaucracy and reached the appropriate place in nominal amount. It gives birth to discontent among the deprived section of society and thereby that section is compelled to tread the path of violence, though it is anti-national,unconstitutional and undemocratic.
Left-wing extremism has borne out of poverty and misery. The poverty-stricken people have deep grudge against the few people of their surroundings in whose control there is all wealth of the locality. This disparity gives birth to violence. That is why the number of people killed in left-wing extremist violence exceeds the number than that of communal and terrorist violence.
The question here arises when the Union Home Minister feels that the left-wing extremist is the biggest threat that the country is facing today, why has he not till now chalked out a plan of action? The speech of only high moral standing can not end the left - wing extremism. It needs a plan of action in co-ordination with the extremist or naxalite affected states properly and sincerely. And the most important thing is that the police and civil administration must show human touch dealing with the left-wing extremism. Economic development at ground level with hard measure with human can end left-wing extremism.
