Once
again, CPI (Maoist) and the oppressed people of India have become the
main issue of public concern. The action of May 25 has created a lot
of debate and discussion among the intellectuals, politicians and as
well as common people. Most of the medias, specially the big house
medias that always discarded the movement of oppressed people in
India, are compelled to concentrate their concern on this issue.
''The Naxalites" as they used to pronounce, now have become
the main issue in the Indian medias. Once again, Maoist Comrades
have proved their strength, ability and revolutionary spirit.
Comrade
Gudsa Usendi the spokesperson for the Dandakaranya, special Zone has
released a long press statement on May 26 regarding this historical
attack. As the statement states:
On
May 25, 2013, a detachment of the People’s Liberation Guerilla Army
conducted a massive attack on the 20 plus vehicles convoy of Congress
party which resulted in wiping out of at least 27 Congress leaders,
activists and policemen including Mahendra Karma, the bitter enemy of
the oppressed people of Bastar and Nand Kumar Patel, president of the
Congress’ state unit. …With
this action we have taken revenge of over a thousand adivasis who
were brutally murdered in the hands of Salwa Judum goons and
government armed forces. We also have taken revenge on behalf of
those hundreds of mothers and sisters who were subjected to cruelest
forms of violence, humiliation and sexual assault. We
have taken revenge on behalf of the thousands of Bastarites
who lost their homes, cattle, chickens, goats, bald, pottery,
clothing, grain, crops ... everything and were forced to live a
miserable life in subhuman conditions.
Yes
, they have done a great job in Chhattisgarh, India. The Comrades of
CPI (Maoist)–People’s
Liberation Guerilla Army, the
brave sons and daughters of India have done a great job, a historical
job. They eliminated
the most notorious person the
enemy of the people, the guiding force behind the vigilante groups:
'Salwa Judum', Mahendra Karma and other leaders of Congress party,
who were against the oppressed people of India. A selected force of
PLGA and other Comrades attacked the convoy of the Congress leaders
in the hilly areas of Darbha while they were returning from Sukma
after an election rally.
The
statement highlights the entire situation of the region and the need
for that heroic action. Comrade Usendi has mentioned that both the
BJP
and the Congress Party are equally responsible for repression in
tribal areas. He has made clear that those leaders of the ruling
parties who were behind the killing of innocent people and who were
the leading force behind the 'Salwa Judum' , were punished. It was
the avenge atrocities on innocent villagers and tribal women during
'Salwa Judum' and 'Operation
Green Hunt'.
The main target was anti-people policies and the reactionaries, who
were involved in killing the innocent people in that region.
The
statement highlights:
The
goal of this attack was mainly to eliminate Mahendra Karma and some
other reactionary Congress top leaders as well. However, during this
massive attack some innocent people and some lower level Congress
party activists who were in fact not our enemies, were also killed
and injured caught in the two-hour long gun battle that ensued
between our guerrilla forces and the armed police forces.
Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee of Communist Party of India
(Maoist) regrets for this and expresses condolence and sympathy to
the families of the bereaved.
The
statement further states:
One
can hardly find any examples in the history to compare the severity
of the devastation and barbarity caused by Salwa Judum to the lives
of the Bastar people. It killed more than one thousand people in cold
blood; torched 640 villages into ashes, robbed thousands of houses;
ate or took away chickens, goats, pigs, etc.; forced more than two
million people to be displaced; dragged more than 50 thousand people
into state-run ‘relief’ camps. Thus the Salwa Judum became
anathema to the people. Hundreds of women were gang raped. Many women
were murdered after rape. Massacres took place in many places. The
atrocities perpetrated on the people and havoc created by the
hooligans of Salwa Judum, the police and paramilitary forces,
especially the Naga and Mizo battalions crossed all limits. …Mahendra
Karma himself led the attacks on several villages in the name of
conducting meetings and marches. Many women were raped by the goons
with the direct instigation of Mahendra Karma. He was directly
involved in many incidents of burning the villages, torturing and
murdering the people. Thus, in the minds of the people of Bastar,
Mahendra Karma remained as an inhuman killer, rapist, dacoit and a
loyal broker of the big capitalists. In entire Bastar people have
been demanding our party and the PLGA for many years that he must be
punished. Many of them came forward voluntarily to give active
support in this task.
Comrade Usendi has demanded immediate
suspension of all criminal operations and laws like 'Opration Green
Hunt'. He has demanded immediate withdrawal of all armed forces
including paramilitary force from Dandakaranya region and release of
innocent tribal people from prisons.
As
Comrade Usendi stresses:
Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee
of Communist Party of India (Maoist) calls upon the workers,
peasants, students, intellectuals, writers, artists, media persons
and all other democrats to demand the governments to stop the OGH
immediately; to withdraw all kinds of paramilitary forces from
Dandakaranya; to give up the conspiracy of deploying the Army in the
name of ‘training’; to put an end to the interference of Air
Force; to release all the revolutionary activists and ordinary
adivasis languishing in various jails immediately; to scrap the cruel
laws like UAPA, CSPSA, MACOCA, AFSPA, etc.; to cancel the all those
MoUs signed with the corporate houses with the aim of plundering the
natural wealth of the country.
We
all know, in February 2010 Chidambaram, then central home minister
had told: "Intellectual support to Maoists, the task of tackling
them very difficult". Their after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
announced Maoists as the "biggest threat to India's internal
security". Since past 7 years, they are operating the
vigilante groups named 'Salwa Judum' and the search and kill
operation– 'Operation Green Hunt', against the innocent people of
that region. But the first and the foremost question that intrigues
is how thousands of strong state police machinery that has support of
almost 40,000 central armed police personnel on ground and air
support of drones and 11 IAF and BSF helicopters failed to track and
fight such a large movement of Maoists. In fact, without the popular
support of the oppressed Adivasi people, it was not easy to fulfill
this historical task.
In
spite of deploying a large number of armed force and killing of
Maoist Comrades and the people, it has been proved that nothing has
changed on the ground in the rural area, particularly in the tribal
heartland and the CPI (Maoist) remains well entrenched there, capable
of calling shots almost at will. A well equipped force that engaged
for nearly two hour gun battle in broad daylight on a state highway.
It symbolizes the strength, ability and the devotion of the
Maoist Comrades. In fact, it was a symbolic action for those who
always minimize the power and unity of the oppressed people.
In
conclusion,
The
people's war in India is not only the war of Indian People, and the
CPI (Maoist) is not fighting only for himself. The people's War in
India has a great universal importance. It is the part of the
International Communist
Movement.. Indian
expansionism is the common enemy in this region. We must have a
united struggle against Indian expansionism. In the coming days the
reactionary Indian government will come out using all old and new
weapons– playing psychological war, killing, maiming, arresting
thousands of revolutionaries and supporters. And it is true, the
power of the bullet will be futile in the face of the people's
movement that will remain powerful as long as the political and
economical conditions exist to sustain it.
People's
War in India is rooted on Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. It is embedded on
the Great Naxalbari movement. The spark of Naxalbari is spreading all
over the world. Naxalbari is not only the name of a place, it is the
symbol of revolutionary value and lofty idle. It is an everlasting
Epic of Heroic Struggle and Sacrifice. Yes, "Naxalbari has no
death; it rises again and again from the ashes, shattering the long,
dark night of gloom and despair, becoming the siren song, awakening
the people of India."
Nepalese
people are fighting against the Indian expansionism and his Nepalese
followers of different faces. We are fighting for the sake of our
National Sovereignty and People's liberation. We passed the
resolution in the 7th
National Congress of our Party that: Now
the nation has changed from Semi-colonial situation to Neo-colonial
situation and as a whole Nepal has become Semi-feudal and
Neo-colonial country. In this situation, compradors, operated and
directed by Indian expansionism and feudal class have been emerged as
class enemies of Nepalese people. It is today’s major contradiction
of the Nepalese society.
That's
why we must come out in the forefront to support the People's War
in India. It is the spirit of Proletariat
Internationalism. We oppressed
people of Nepal, who fought ten years People's War and who are
marching a head raising the banner of CPN-Maoist, express our
revolutionary solidarity to the Comrades of CPI(Maoist). We express
our warm and revolutionary greeting to those red
fighters who led this daring attack to the successful conclusion.
In
conclusion, I would like to quote some lines of agreat revolutionary
poet Cherabanda
Raju.
Guard!
Guard
the green shoots of your dreams,
The
flowering hopes in the corridors of your eyes.
Comrades
! East is Red. The
voice of truth and justice could not be muffled.
The
future belongs to us.
Long
live Proletariat Internationalism !
