New Delhi: Home Minister P Chidambaram on Thursday described the word "Operation Green Hunt" as a figment of imagination and said the government had never used words like "enemy" and "war" against Maoists.
Briefly intervening in a debate on Dantewada incident in the Lok Sabha, he said, "There is no Operation Green Hunt... Why does media make this myth and lie that there is something (called) Operation Green Hunt?"

The Home Minister also said the government has never used words like "enemy" and "war" against the Maoists and added that these words are used by them in their literature.
Chidambaram said this in response to a query by a BJP member Kirti Azad who wanted to know whether the government had launched an 'Operation Green Hunt' against Maoists.
The Minister further said that 'Green Hunt' was the name given by a Chhattisgrah police officer to an operation against some Maoists.
