Raipur, April 24- Chhattisgarh government has named two former chief secretaries as its nominees for talks with Naxals for release of abducted Sukma Collector Alex Paul Menon even as activists — Prashant Bhushan and Manish Kunjam — declined to mediate on behalf of the Maoists.
Former chief secretaries of Madhya Pradesh and Chhatisgarh — Nirmala Buch and S.K. Mishra — have been deputed by the state government for talks with the abductors of the 32-year-old 2006 batch IAS officer, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh told reporters in Raipur.
'Buch and Mishra have been spoken to. They have stated that they will mediate with the Maoist mediators on behalf of the state government,' he said.
'Because the talks process will be starting, there should not be any deadline for resolving the issue,' Singh said.
The Chief Minister said even though the president of All India Adivasi Mahasabha Manish Kunjam had refused to mediate, the activist has responded to an appeal by him to carry medicines for Menon, whose condition had been described by the Naxals as 'critical'.

New Delhi, April 24 - Two of the three mediators named by Maoists to negotiate the release of Chhattisgarh district collector Alex Paul Menon have refused to join talks. While lawyer Prashant Bhushant said he could not mediate while Menon was still in Maoist custody, tribal leader Manish Kunjam cited political reasons.
Maoists late Monday named Supreme Court lawyer and Team Anna member Bhushan, former National Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe Commission chairperson B.D. Sharma and All India Adivasi Mahasabha president Kunjam as mediators.
Kunjam told reporters that there were 'political reasons as well as local circumstances' behind his decision. 'There are two more names on the list. We will personally request these people to mediate and we will give them whatever help necessary.'
Bhushan told reporters that while he considered the Maoists' demands for release of innocent tribals and ending operation Green Hunt against them 'completely justified', he would not mediate while they held Menon captive.
Bhushan said that he 'cannot mediate using an innocent person's life as a pawn'.

In a complaint to Antiguan Police, the 62-year-old fugitive businessman Mehul Choksi claimed Barbara Jarabica to be part of an elaborate abduction ploy in which he was transported from Antigua and Barbuda islands to Dominica. In the letter addressed to the Commissioner of Police, Choksi claimed he came to be on friendly terms with Jabarica over the past year. She lived opposite to his residential complex in Jolly Harbour but later shifted to Coco Bay Hotel, he said.

Prashant Bhushan refuses to mediate in Sukma collector abduction
Noida, April 24- Team Anna member and Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan has refused
to mediate on behalf of the Maoists but appealed to them to
unconditionally release Sukma District Collector Alex Paul Menon.
He said that the demands of the Maoists were 'justified' and
government should address the issues facing them. Hours after the
Maoists named him as one of three mediators for negotiations with the
government, Bhushan said that he would not mediate on the issue. 'No,
I am appealing to the Maoists to unconditionally release the
collector. I agree to most of their demands which are justifiable but
the collector should not be used as a bargaining chip,' he told when
asked if he would act as a mediator. 'Menon is an innocent officer. If
the government is serious about addressing the root causes of Naxals,
I am quite happy to be part of any negotiations then,' he said. The
lawyer said the demands for ending operation \'green hunt\' and release
of innocent tribals are 'justified'. Government should also address
issues facing them like handing over large tracts of land to big
corporations, he said. After the Chhattisgarh government offered to
hold talks to secure the release of the Sukma district collector,
