Government to gift vasectomy reversal to surrendering Maoists
27 Oct 2012 6:10 AM IST
Forced by their leaders to undergo vasectomy to prevent filial attachments, Maoist guerrillas who surrendered in recent years can hope to return to normal family life with the government offering sterilisation reversal surgeries.
The home ministry on Friday sent out advisories to the nine Left-wing extremism affected states to facilitate vasectomy reversal procedures for surrendered rebels so that they can have children after marriage and lead a fuller normal life.
The ministry also asked Andhra, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal to address the issue of vasectomy, a procedure that can be reversed, within the ambit of their policy for surrender and rehabilitation of Maoists.
The advisory comes in the wake of two surrendered Communist Party of India-Maoist guerrillas undergoing vasectomy reversal surgery in Chhattisgarh.
‘Forced sterilisation of the lower rung and tribal cadres of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army of the CPI-Maoist by the top leadership has been in practice for a number of years,’ the advisory noted.
