"There is no operation. Operation is your invention. State governments are carrying out all the (counter) insurgency measures against Naxalites. Wherever necessary the Central Government is providing assistance by way of central paramilitary forces, intelligence sharing and technical help. State police is responsible for maintaining law and order. Operation Greenhunt is purely an invention of the media," he told reporters in Hyderabad.
Asked about Maoist leader Kishenji's statement that the Naxals were willing to hold talks on the condition that there was ceasefire, Chidambaram said he has not seen any such statement.
On whether there are any intelligence inputs about any fresh terror attack, he said, "Security forces are vigilant and perfectly capable of thwarting any attack. There is no reason to raise any alarm."
Asked about the reported links between Maoists and LTTE, he said the so-called links were only reported in the media.
"I have not seen any written statement or a document. I cannot comment on what is broadcast by the media," he said.

Our ex finance minister had assured industralists by saying 'mai hu na'. Our present PM did everything to help stock market(in other words investors)in this recession. All the political parties(left and right, paties in govt or in opposition) raised many issues from different walk of life. But I never heard anyone raising an issue for adivasis. It is strange none of parties(left and right)have raised any programm/development activities for adivashis. Govt must plan for very liberal development programm in adivasi region otherwise operation greenhunt may prove to be a help or a gift to naxalities.
He does not deserve to the Home Minister of any Country or even a State for that reason.How can he be entrusted with safety of the nation when he say that Maoists and Naxalites are law and order matters for the states to tackle and not that of the Central Govt which is contrary to what the Apex Court has been saying when goaded to say as far as Gujrat is concern.
In otherwards PC says state Government is responsible for the operation and central Government is for appeasement only.Again he says Security forces are vigilant and perfectly capable of thwarting any attack. There is no reason to raise any alarm.Which Security forces he means,State or Centre?
