The state government considers him an enemy and has charged him with sedition. The people of that region consider him their best friend. As a doctor, he has brought relief to thousands of men, women, and children. As the Secretary of the People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL), he has exposed the atrocities of the police and state-sponsored peace force, Salwa Judum, against the innocent masses. These machinations were designed to displace those poor people from their habitat. The idea was to enable the influential corporate firms to tap the mineral wealth of that region.
