Kidnap me and free abducted cop : WBengal Congress Secy to Maoists
Midnapore, 22 October : West Bengal Congress Secretary Swapan Dubey on Wednesday offered himself to the Maoists as a barter for the police officer in their custody."The kidnapping has lowered the confidence of police officers. People of the state will therefore also suffer due to this. As a member of the ruling party (at the Centre), I appeal the Maoists to kidnap me and release Atindranath Dutta," Dubey said in a letter written to the state government. Appealing to Maoist leader Kishenji to stop bloodshed immediately, he said attacking policemen cannot serve anyone's purpose. "If the Maoists attack me, it will be more beneficial for them as I am a member of the ruling party at the Centre," Dubey said.
He also appealed to the state government, district magistrate and police officers to communicate his message to the Maoists and make it a part of the negotiation plan !
