In a joint statement issued by the interlocutors and Maoists in West Bengal, the rebels have promised to restrain the use of arms for one month if there is no joint operation in the area.
"The government will have to decide whether they will suspend joint operations for a month and create a congenial atmosphere for talks," said interlocutor Sujato Bhadra.
When asked about other issues highlighted in the statement, Bhadra said, "If there is any attack on the rebels by armed groups functioning in the area then the Maoists will report it to the interlocutors and subsequently it will be reported to the government".
