Patil,who was in the city for the launch of a book,said even in the recent J Dey murder case,it was noticed that activists had demanded his resignation. Some of the NGOs are deterrants in the path of development. Even in the J Dey murder case,I saw many NGO activists demanding my resignation.

While speaking on the Naxalite movement,Patil called for the Centre and the state governments to be open for discussion rather than just adopt an armed approach towards Naxals.

The Minister was in the city to launch Loksatta senior reporter Devendra Gawades book on Naxalites Naxalvadanche Avahan at S M Joshi Hall on Friday.

With the Naxal meanace spreading even in cities,Mumbai and Pune,it is necessary for a combined approach by the police,government and public to tackle the problem. Patil lauded Deepak Paigude for his approach to select 50 children from Gadchiroli and train them in a Pune school. Such initiatives can help groom these children, said Patil. While lauding Gawades detailed approach in his book,he also warned that the state and the centre should be on guard as Naxalite movement,though restricted to some pockets in the country,may gradually spread. He urged government officials not to shy away from Gadchiroli postings.
