Nepal: Coalition Of Left Parties Staging Election Boycott Condemns The Arrest Of RCPN Leading Cadre Purna Bahadur Khadka -info

 

Kathmandu, February 3, 2026: A coalition consisting of six communist and left-wing parties that have been boycotting the March 5 House of Representatives (HoR) elections have demanded the immediate release of Purna Bahadur Khadka, who was recently arrested by Nepal Police following a public function in Dudhouli, Sindhuli, on Monday.

A central joint struggle committee of the coalition parties has warned the government of a stronger political movement if it interferes with their protest programmes. In a statement, the committee condemned the arrest of Khadka, who is also a leading cadre of the Mohan Baidya-led Revolutionary Communist Party of Nepal.

The committee accused the government of attempting to disrupt its peaceful struggle by detaining Khadka and issued a stern warning against further interference.

“We strongly warn the government not to interfere in our peaceful struggle programmes and to immediately release Comrade Purna Bahadur Khadka unconditionally,” the statement said.

The committee, which has been campaigning for the formation of an all-party government, comprises the Mohan Baidya-led Revolutionary Communist Party of Nepal, CPN (Bahumat), the Scientific Socialist Party, CPN (Janapakshya), the Nepal Communist Party, and the Socialist Communist Party.

A propósito del encuentro Petro-Trump - Colombia

 

A propósito del encuentro Petro-Trump

• Revolución Obrera
  • febrero 5, 2026

  

  Ocurrió la tan esperada reunión entre Petro y Trump, un suceso que sin duda ocupa editoriales y es primicia en diversos medios de comunicación. ¿Qué significó esta reunión que causó escozor en la derecha recalcitrante y regocijo entre el reformismo y en buena parte del pueblo colombiano?

  Este encuentro se presenta con un antecedente importante en el que por años, Gustavo Petro construyó su imagen política sobre un discurso antimperialista, ecologista y de ruptura con el modelo extractivista. Petro ha denunciado la política intervencionista de Estados Unidos, criticado la dependencia del petróleo y prometido una transición energética profunda. Sin embargo, en este reciente acercamiento a Washington, su postura frente a Venezuela y «reactivar» la economía del hermano país levantando las sanciones a sabiendas del alto flujo de barriles de petróleo que ya se exporta de allí a Estados Unidos, revelan una contradicción que no puede pasar desapercibida.

  Petro habló de reactivar la economía de Venezuela argumentando que cuando ordenó abrir la frontera con ese país el narcoterrorismo disminuyó y se activó la economía, y se compromete entonces a «colaborar» (olvidando el bombardeo, el secuestro de Maduro y su esposa…) propuesta que por supuesto le suena a Trump porque contribuye a su propósito de alinear su «patio trasero». Además, Petro le planteó otro negocio que —según él— Trump no había entendido porque estaba confundido, y es el de las energías limpias; de las cuales América Latina tiene de sobra, otro jugoso negocio, bajo el velo de una verdadera transformación ambiental. Para Trump —y para los grandes poderes económicos— invertir en «energías limpias» no significa dejar de extraer petróleo, sino de invertir en otras ramas para seguir explotando y destruyendo la naturaleza con otro discurso.

Actions in Europe Against India's ‘Kagaar Operation’

The reactionary Indian state's ‘Kagaar Operation’ against India's indigenous peoples and the Communist Party of India (Maoist) was protested in Vienna and Brussels, Europe.

‘Operation Kagaar’ Protested in Vienna

The fascist Narendra Modi government, together with imperialist powers, has been conducting operations under various names since 2009, particularly in the states of India where the Adivasi peoples live. Thousands of people have been killed in these attacks, and tens of thousands have been displaced from their homes. While people are being killed to hand over valuable minerals to mining companies, those who survive are being forcibly expelled from the lands they have lived on for centuries.

Since January 2024, under the name of the ‘Kagaar Operation,’ the Modi government has been propagating that it will eliminate the Communist Party of India (Maoist) by 31 March 2026, with tens of thousands of paramilitary forces and advanced technical equipment, and continues its brutal attacks.

To condemn these attacks and expose them to the Austrian public, an event was held in front of the Indian Embassy in Vienna by organisations including ADİF and ATİK. The event, held on 27 January 2026, began at 5 p.m. with the screening of footage revealing the scale of the brutality of the operations.

The action, held in Karlsplatz, one of Vienna's busiest areas, featured a jointly prepared speech read in German and English, followed by speeches on behalf of the organisations.

In the speech delivered on behalf of ADİF–ATİK, the operations carried out by the Indian state were exposed and condemned, and the speech concluded with the following call:

“As ATİK – European Confederation of Turkish Workers, we strongly condemn the operations carried out by the fascist Modi government in collaboration with imperialists and declare our solidarity with the struggling peoples of India. We call on all democratic forces in Europe to take a clear stand against these attacks. Long live the Indian people's legitimate resistance against fascism! Long live international solidarity!"

The event concluded with slogans denouncing the atrocities of the Kagaar Operation and strengthening solidarity with the struggling peoples.

Kagaar Operation Protested in Brussels

The attacks carried out by the fascist Modi regime in India against the Communist Party of India (Maoist) for two years under the name ‘Kagaar Operation’ were protested in front of the European Parliament in Brussels.

During the action, held in response to discussions on India at the EU Parliament's Human Rights Committee on 26–27 January, the fascist Modi regime, which continues the Kagaar Operation, and the EU Parliament, which continues to support these attacks, were exposed.

It was stated that since January 2024, the Indian state has been conducting operations in many states with an army and paramilitary forces of 60,000 personnel; that hundreds of members of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) and indigenous people living in the states have been killed in these attacks, and that large-scale arrests have been carried out. It was emphasised that India is in clear violation of international treaties and fundamental human rights.

Documents Recovered By Security Forces Reveal Maoists Not Ready To Surrender In Jharkhand's Saranda

The recovered documents indicate that Naxalites want to continue their jungle warfare at any cost, despite heavy police pressure.

Ranchi: Despite the killing of 17 Naxalites in a major encounter in Saranda in Jharkhand, high-ranking Naxal leaders with substantial bounties on their heads remain hiding in the forests and refuse to surrender. Documents recovered by security forces during recent operations reveal that these militants are determined to continue their armed struggle.

The encounter on January 22 marked the biggest anti-Naxal operation in Jharkhand's history. Among those killed was Anmol, who carried a bounty of Rs 1 crore on his head. The operation in Saranda forest, long considered the safest hideout for Naxalites, has created panic among the insurgents. However, recovered documents show that top Naxal leaders remain committed to fighting rather than surrendering.

Security forces launched extensive search operations following the encounter. The recovered documents indicate that Naxalites want to continue their jungle warfare at any cost, despite heavy police pressure and the constant threat of being killed in encounters. According to police figures, 50 to 55 Naxalites are still present in Saranda, with several carrying bounties of Rs 1 crore each.

Dr Michael Raj, Inspector General of Jharkhand Police (Operations), identified greed as the main reason preventing surrender. The attraction of extortion money keeps these militants in the forests. Reports suggest that top Naxal leaders are actively discouraging their cadres from surrendering, often using bribes to prevent lower-ranking members from leaving. While many junior cadres wish to abandon the jungle life and join the mainstream to avoid police encounters, they are being held back through various means.

According to Dr Raj, ideology no longer drives the Naxalite movement. Instead, the militants focus on earning money through terror, arson, and minor attacks. Only one or two senior members still follow Naxalite principles, but they have lost influence within the organisation. The Naxalites now operate more like criminal gangs, using tactics such as arson to extort money.

Security forces have established such a strong cordon around Saranda that escaping the jungle has become extremely difficult for the Naxalites. Continuous operations in the dense forests are producing consistent results. The January 22 encounter eliminated significant leadership from Kolhan, Jharkhand's region that housed the largest concentration of Naxalites. Besides Anmol with a Rs 1 crore bounty, another Anmol carrying a Rs 25 lakh bounty was also killed, along with 15 other militants.

Top leaders of the banned CPI (Maoist) organisation, including Misir Besra and Asim Mandal (both with Rs 1 crore bounties), along with Mochu, Ajay Mahto, Sagen Angaria, Ashwin, Chandan Lohra, Amit Hansda alias Aptan, Jayakant, and Rapa Munda, are currently gathered in the Saranda and Kolhan regions with their squad members. Approximately 15,000 security personnel have surrounded the area, making escape extremely difficult.

The trapped Naxalites are closely watching Odisha as a possible escape route. Their strategy appears twofold: either escape safely to Odisha or accumulate enough explosives and weapons to confront security forces again. However, the tight security cordon makes either option challenging. The operation has been intensified with five companies of Jharkhand Armed Police (Gorkha Battalion) and all companies of Jharkhand Jaguar deployed to Saranda. Fifteen Deputy Superintendents of Police and several IPS officers are monitoring the operation. Chaibasa police, Cobra, Jharkhand Jaguar, CRPF, and JAP are conducting joint operations.

Jharkhand's Naxalite movement is experiencing its worst phase. Although approximately 45 notorious Naxalites, including two with Rs 1 crore bounties, hide in Saranda, they lack the strength for direct combat. Police have not only surrounded them but have also completely cut off their supply lines, preventing them from recruiting new cadres.

The disruption of supply lines has created severe shortages of food, clothing, and medicine for the militants. Police have discovered and destroyed bunkers where Naxalites stored everyday supplies. Security forces continue to assess success not only through arrests and weapons recovery but also by the effectiveness of cutting off essential supplies to the insurgents.

Maoist posters trigger panic in Jungle Mahal ahead of 2026 polls

Posters written in red ink on white paper were discovered along a jungle path in the Ankro-Barakadam area under Boro police station on Wednesday morning, police sources said.

Jungle Mahal’s Maoist past remains a source of fear for locals.

---

Amid the charged upcoming election atmosphere, fear has resurfaced in parts of Jungle Mahal in the west region of West Bengal after posters allegedly linked to Maoist groups were found in Purulia district, triggering panic among local residents.

 

Posters written in red ink on white paper were discovered along a jungle path in the Ankro-Barakadam area under Boro police station on Wednesday morning, police sources said. One side of the posters bore the slogan “Khela Hobe” (The game is on), while the other carried a stern warning threatening “death penalty” for those who fail to observe a bandh. The posters also stated, “In 2026, the Maoists will play the game.”

 

The posters were first noticed by local villagers who regularly use the jungle path. It is suspected that they were put up under the cover of darkness. As news of the posters spread, fear gripped Ankro village, with memories of Jungle Mahal’s violent past resurfacing among residents.

 

However, police and intelligence sources have raised serious doubts about the involvement of Maoists. Although the posters call for a bandh, they do not mention any specific date or time, a discrepancy that has deepened the mystery. Preliminary police assessments suggest that anti-social elements or miscreants may have used the Maoist name to create panic in the region ahead of the elections.

 

The district administration has maintained that there is currently no active or organised Maoist presence in Purulia and that Jungle Mahal has remained peaceful for a considerable period. Despite this, security agencies are not taking any chances. Police patrolling has been intensified in the area, and an investigation is underway to identify those responsible and determine whether there is any political motive behind the incident.

 

Jungle Mahal’s Maoist past remains a source of fear for locals. In 2008, Maoists carried out a landmine blast targeting the convoy of then Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on National Highway 6 in Bhadutala, Midnapore, in which he and two Union ministers narrowly escaped death. Following that incident, large parts of Jungle Mahal, including Lalgarh, witnessed prolonged violence marked by explosions, blockades and unrest for over two years.

 

The situation began to normalise after Maoist leader Kishenji was killed in a joint forces operation in the Burishol forest of Jhargram on November 24, 2011. Years later, the reappearance of posters invoking Maoist threats has once again cast a shadow over the region’s peace.

Major Wave of Arrests Against Socialists in Turkey - Call for Solidarity - maximum proletarian and internationalist support maoistroad

 

Dear comrades,

We are writing to urgently inform you about a major wave of repression against socialists, journalists, trade unionists, lawyers, and environmental activists in Turkey, and to call for your solidarity.

Over the past days, 96 people have been arrested across Turkey under the pretext of so-called “anti-terror operations.” The Erdoğan government is once again using anti-terror legislation to smash resistance structures and silence all forms of opposition. Anti-terror units stormed homes and offices, ransacked them, destroyed property, and confiscated all electronic devices. Even political literature, including The Communist Manifesto, has reportedly been taken as “evidence.”

Among the targeted premises were the offices of the Etha news agency and the Beksav cultural association. This wave of repression is clearly directed at left-wing and socialist organizations. Arrested comrades include members and leading representatives of the Socialist Party of the Oppressed (ESP), the Socialist Women’s Councils (SKM), and the Federation of Socialist Youth Associations (SGDF), among them ESP co-chair Murat Çepni, SKM general spokesperson Tanya Kara, and SGDF co-chair Berfin Polat.

In addition, the fascist Turkish government arrested the chairperson and general secretary of the port workers’ union LİMTER İş, which is part of the Confederation of Revolutionary Trade Unions (DISK). Members of the environmental organization Polen Ekoloji were also taken into custody.

According to Turkey’s state news agency, the arrests allegedly target the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party (MLKP). In 22 provinces, public prosecutors ordered arrests of people accused of participating in events marking the MLKP’s 30th anniversary. Reports indicate that those affected had already been under close surveillance since February 24, 2025.

This is not the first wave of repression against these organizations, but its scale marks a new escalation. Authorities are now speaking of 110 suspects, meaning further arrests are likely.

In recent weeks, many of the targeted organizations were actively involved in resistance and solidarity actions for Rojava, including protests in Suruç (Pirsûs). This town is marked by the memory of the 2015 ISIS attack — carried out with the complicity of Turkish authorities — in which 33 SGDF youth were murdered while preparing to help rebuild Kobanê.

Just days before this arrest wave, an Istanbul court sentenced ten Kurdish lawyers and 18 others to prison terms of up to 11 years and 3 months for defending the rights and medical care of predominantly Kurdish prisoners. At the same time, socialists have played a key role in organizing large-scale anti-NATO protests planned for July 7–8 in Ankara, which further explains the political motivation behind this repression.

Despite all attacks, the socialist youth declare:

“We will not take a single step back. We will continue to strengthen the youth’s struggle for equality and freedom. Despite all attacks, we reaffirm: SGDF is hope — and hope stands firm.”

Our Call for Solidarity

Dear comrades, we ask for any form of solidarity:

• Public statements and messages of support

• Protest actions, rallies, or banners

• Letters to Turkish embassies and consulates

• Initiatives within unions, parties, youth and women’s organizations

• Spreading this information widely

International solidarity is crucial. Every message, every action, and every expression of support strengthens the antifascist struggle in Turkey and helps protect those targeted by repression.

Freedom for all political prisoners!
Down with fascist repression!
Solidarity with the antifascist struggle in Turkey!

In solidarity,

Please forward your messages and letters also to

Expose the right opportunist politics of Joginder Singh alias Satish Master!

Long live the struggle against Opportunism-Liquidationism-Revisionism!

Hold high the red banner of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism!

 

Dear Comrades and Friends,

We are placed at a sharpest period of the decade. Our CC had already laid down that the imperialist and their running dogs are moving towards the third World War. This war is going to accelerate the economic, political crisis of the world particularly that in the oppressed nations and countries like our. The people of the world are therefore crying out for the revolution. And to realize the dreams of the world people and Indian people in particular our party is leading the storm center of revolution. We have faced severe repression, lost many invaluable son of the soils. Our brave and historic PLGA comrades are still marching with a dream that resonates with the people of Palestine, Venezuela, Philippines and all other people of the world who are oppressed and suppressed by the US Imperialist forces. Recently the loss of CCM comrade Ganesh Da, comrade Anal Da and comrade Vaparao are severe losses to the Indian revolution and the world proletariat socialist revolution. We express our humble homage to these brave martyrs and pledge to fulfill their dreams of people’s democratic federal republic India. And in order that we achieve this kind of India, we express with equal rigor our hatred against the Opportunist -Liquidationist–Revisionist elements. We reiterate our commitment to struggle against them and hold high the red banner of Marxism–Leninism–Maoism.

Our party in its Party Programme held that Revisionism, particularly right-wing opportunism, is the main danger for world proletarian revolution and international communist movement today. At present the right opportunist are the Liquidators who want our party to become open and legal; thereby surrender the armed struggle and lead a life of revisionist. This line is currently being lead by Sonu alias Venugopal and Bacha Prasad Singh alias Balraj. In North India Balraj alias Bacha Prasad Singh is leading the liquidationist camp and have created anti party leadership/cadres in their camps. This liquidationist camp is clandestine from the party and is operating as a new anti-party center. Unlike our party that follows MLM as guiding ideology this group follows Lin Biao ideology. In order to carry forward their anti party act they deploy the Lin Biaoist method of hatching conspiracy. Lin Biao`s revisionism was different and advance from other opportunists. It was so because he used a method which was new to the history.

Lin Biao used conspiratorial methods to launch attack on the party leadership and line. He secretly used to meet party cadres and leadership and persuade them to join the anti party camps. This he did by providing personal gratification to the party cadres. While on one side Lin Biao was busy hatching conspiracy against the party and its leadership on the other side he loudly proclaimed his oath to struggle against Khrushchev modern revisionism and floated the theory of revolutionary authority in order to make it appear that he is very close to comrade Mao and the party. He never stopped hurling praise for comrade Mao while silently and vainly plotted to get him killed. Such is the opportunism of Lin Biao. Similarly Balraj held parallel meeting and tried forming a party center in Northern India as opposed to the party`s CC. He conspired against the PB member and in-charge of North India. But firmly proclaims that he is loyal to the party and party lead movement. He is trying to infiltrate his men among the ranks of the revolutionary and is also assisting the enemy in identifying and locating our comrades. He is trying to enlarge the anti party liquidators camps. But can he stand the indelible strikes of Marxism–Leninism–Maoism. Comrade Mao famously said “Whatever the country or place where one finds oppression, there one finds resistance, where one finds revisionism there one can find outstanding Marxist-Leninist fighting them”. We shall bury all the manifestation of Opportunism.

We hereby expose the anti party underground network of Balraj which is active in the cover of Satish master alias Joginder Singh in Haryana. It is important to note that in 15 -16 Nov, 2019 the conspirator Bacha Prasad Singh organized a structural meetings with some comrades of North India, among many others including those from the states of Delhi and Punjab, the meeting was attended by Satish Master of Haryana. After discovering this conspiracy our party tried pursuing the comrades including Satish to present self-criticism for having joined the anti party liquidationist camps. But on the contrary Satish insisted on cementing the unity with the traitor Bacha Prasad Singh and his man Darshan Pal. He merged his organization with the Darshan Pal led. It is important to know that our party had already expelled Darshan Pal and had unexposed the unholy anti-people anti-party unity between Darshan Pal and Balraj. Interestingly, Darshan Pal the traitor to the world proletariat have also been expelled by his own organization. This represents the hatred among the people against the Liquidators of the people’s movement. We express our revolutionary greetings to the comrades who expelled Darshan Pal from their organization. This struggle will go down in the history as a great struggle against those who want to surrender the party and the party lead movement before this autocratic state power.

Our CC-PB in Nov, 2023 brought a circular for all party members and orally it was communicated to all sympathizers. The circular was an appeal to all those who had joined the liquidationist meeting with Bacha Prasad Singh, they were asked to present self criticism and join the party structure in their states. The appeal also said that the comrades can present their political differences in the respective structure by following the method of democratic centralism. When this appeal was presented to Master Satish, he blatantly said that he will not unite with the party and will carry forward his unity with the liquidationist Balraj camp. In fact while party was making this appeal, he had merged his organization with Darshan Pal-Balraj. Satish Master has thus moved away from the camp of revolutionary to the Liquidators. He proclaims that armed struggle can not be carried forward in plain areas. In reality he wants to carry only economic struggle for reform and have developed hatred for the revolution. He says that carrying on the Leninist line of underground party building is left adventurism. All he want is a liberal group instead of party. Deviating clearly from Chinese path, Satish believes we can not have armed struggle in Haryana. This he says on basis of some concocted experience of LOS (Local Organization Squad) practice in Haryana. It is important to note that in Plenum of 2016 in Haryana it was concluded by all the members that looses to the party was mainly due to not implementing underground party functioning in practice. But Satish insists that we failed because our political line itself is incorrect. It is important to note that after every repression the petty bourgeoisie opportunist elements hurriedly concludes that the Chinese path has failed and there is Capitalism in Punjab and Haryana. This has been the trend of Opportunism-Liquidationism-Revisionism right from the days of comrade Marx and Engels whenever proletariat demands sacrifice from the petty bourgeoisie, the opportunist elements of petty bourgeoisie develops doubtism and lastly surrender before the enemy. The recent and the highest form of it is represented by Venugopal alias Sonu who surrendered with arms before the enemy. Satish is the disciple of Venugopal. Satish is nothing but the Haryanvi extension of Balraj.

The party can not have opportunists-liquidators-revisionist in its ranks and file. Therefore in accordance to the party constitution Article – 27 which laid down the principle that indiscipline means to reject the aims and objective of the party, party programme or organizational structure or to violate them will be tantamount to indiscipline and the member or unit involved in such activities, will be liable to disciplinary action. Having deviated from the party’s line laid down in unity congress ninth congress by joining the liquidationist camp, Satish have been conducting indiscipline. Considering his membership of the liquidationist camp under the leadership of Balraj, we hereby expel him from the basic membership of the party. One can’t remain committed to the party and the liquidators at the same time. Therefore, we appeal to comrades who have been with his organization to join the party structure in their areas and struggle against Opportunism-Liquidationism-Revisionism of all colors and shades. We must remember that victory belongs to us who are genuine Marxist-Leninist–Maoists.
