Maoists have indicated their willingness for talks with the West Bengal government for lasting peace in tribal 'junglemahal' area, a human rights activist engaged in parleys with the Naxals said on Friday.

"There are many stakeholders in junglemahal who are willing to talk to the state government... The government has already initiated some positive steps and is willing to talk (with the Maoists)," Sujato Bhadra, who was among a six-member team asked by the state to talk to the Maoists on ceasefire, told newsmen at the secretariat after briefing chief minister Mamata Banerjee about their visit.

Noting that a conducive atmosphere had been created in junglemahal area for talks, he said positive response had been received from the Maoists and the state government.

"The stakeholders there have some legitimate demands which we informed the state government," Bhadra said.

Asked if the demand was withdrawal of the joint force in junglemahal, he said, "There are many demands, like bringing entire junglemahal under BPL scheme and ensuring rural electrification in the region."

The government, he said, had given the team the go ahead for holding more talks with the Maoists. It would therefore revisit junglemahal and inform the ultras about the government's views.

"Those who called for armed opposition in accordance with the human rights law are the major stakeholders in junglemahal," he said.
