Annual Report 2008-2009 4.62 The enquiry team did not come across any evidence to suggest that the district administration had deliberately withdrawn any development activity or service from a village because the villagers had not supported Salwa Judum. Instead of providing alternate accommodation, the State Government had in many instances allowed the security forces to occupy school and ashram buildings which were specifically meant for imparting education. This tendency of the State Government has to be checked and corrective action needs to be taken accordingly. Except on certain specific counts, the overall condition in the temporary relief camps was found to be satisfactory. 4.63 A large number of civilians had been displaced ever since Salwa Judum movement was started. Few of the civilians had taken temporary shelter in various camps in Bijapur and Dantewada districts, while the others had been forced to go to Andhra Pradesh. On the whole, the movement of Salwa Judum cannot be held solely responsible for these displacements. Moreover, the State Government of Chhattisgarh cannot be said to have deliberately or actively pursued a displacement policy for civilians. These displacements, by and large, were a fallout of the decision taken by the tribals to take on the Naxalites. 4.64 The selective killings of Salwa Judum leaders, activists and other attacks on them by the Naxalites was to a large extent responsible for changing the complexion of the movement from a non-violent one to that of an armed resistance. 4.65 It was the submission of the Fact Finding Committee that the State Government cannot be held responsible for sponsoring the Salwa Judum movement though it certainly had extended its support to it by way of providing security to the processions and meetings of Salwa Judum and also to the inhabitants of the temporary relief camps. 4.66 While the Naxalites were involved in violations of human rights, there had been instances where the activists of Salwa Judum, SPOs and the security personnel too were found to have been involved in activities that resulted in violation of human rights. In fact, the violations committed by the latter were of more serious nature as the State must act within the prescribed rule of law even in the face of grave provocation. 4.67 The report of the Fact Finding Committee was submitted to the Commission, which recorded its appreciation on the commendable work done by the Investigation Division under extreme difficult conditions. The Commission subsequently forwarded the entire report of the Fact Finding Committee to the Supreme Court. The Apex Court too placed on record its appreciation for the “meticulous work” carried out by the Commission’s Fact Finding Committee. The Supreme Court directed the State Government of Chhattisgarh to implement the recommendations given by NHRC. d) Police High-handedness, Firing and Encounter 14.
