NewsX: The note seems to have been signed by the notorious Naxal brigand Gudsa Usendi. While the Maoists have regretted the killing of some "innocent" Congress functionaries, they have condemned PM Manmohan Singh, Congress president Sonia Gandhi and BJP chief Rajnath Singh for calling the incident an attack on democracy. They have also blamed Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh, the Congress and the BJP for their "anti-people policies."

Through the note, the Maoists have also put forward seven key demands. They are seeking the withdrawal of paramilitary forces from Dandakaranya and want Operation Green Hunt to end. They have also demanded that revolutionaries and "innocent" tribals should be released from jail unconditionally.
