CPP declares Philippine Solidarity Month for the
People’s War in India
July
01, 2013
The
Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), together with all revolutionary forces
in the Philippines, declare July 2013 as Philippine Solidarity Month for the
People’s War in India. The CPP issues this declaration in unity with the call of
democratic and anti-imperialist forces for an international day of support for
the people’s war in India on July 1. Let us pay our highest tribute to the
heroes and martyrs of the Indian people’s revolution, celebrate its victories
and look forward to its further advances in the future.
The
CPP calls on all its entire membership, all Red fighters of the New People’s
Army (NPA) and all revolutionary forces and people under its leadership to carry
out educational and cultural activities all throughout the month of July to
further deepen the Filipino revolutionary forces’ understanding of and
solidarity with the people’s democratic revolution in India.
Party
branches, units of the NPA, chapters of revolutionary mass organizations and
governmental departments will devote one or several days of activities during
the month of July to carry out such activities as educational discussions, film
showings, cultural presentations and mass propaganda undertakings to express
solidarity and generate support for the people’s war in India.
In
launching the Philippine Solidarity Month for the People’s War in India, the CPP
reciprocates the solidarity week launched by the Communist Party of India
(Maoist) or CPI-M last April 22-28 coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the
National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) last April 24.
Despite
the geographical distance and national peculiarities, the people’s war in India
and the Philippines share many similarities. Foremost, both people’s war are
under the leadership of communist parties that adhere to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism
and which are deeply rooted among the toiling masses of the people.
Both
advance the democratic interests of the peasants and indigenous peoples for land
against the land monopolists and the encroachment of foreign mining companies
and foreign monopoly capitalist plunderers. Both advance the democratic
struggles of the workers, youth, students, women and other democratic sectors
against the exploiters and oppressors.
The
CPI-M is at the helm of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army in the same
manner that the CPP leads the New People’s Army (NPA) in the Philippines. Both
wage extensive and intensive guerrilla warfare while building the people’s
organs of democratic political power and waging campaigns to advance the land
reform movement. Enjoying widespread support, the PLGA and the NPA continue to
expand and accumulate great victories in the field of revolutionary armed
struggle.
The
people’s war in India and the Philippines are both confronted with brutal
campaigns of suppression being carried out by the reactionary forces under the
direction of the US imperialist government. The Operation Green Hunt of the
Indian reactionaries and the Oplan Bayanihan of the Philippine reactionaries
both employ the most abominable forms of armed suppression resulting in gross
and widespread violations of human rights. Invariably, these acts of suppression
are directed against the revolutionary masses in a vain attempt to terrorize the
people.
The
US imperialists and the reactionaries vilify the revolutionary forces in India
and the Philippines as “terrorists.” They have, however, failed to stymie the
growth of the people’s revolutionary movements in India and the Philippines
which both have advanced steadily with the deep and broad support of the people.
The people’s war in India and the Philippines have repeatedly and decisively
frustrated the reactionaries’ attempts at armed suppression as they firmly
adhere to the people’s aspirations for democracy.
The
Indian and Philippine revolutionary forces both seek and work to help build a
broad international anti-imperialist and democratic movement to advance the
interests of the toiling masses amidst the worsening crisis of the international
capitalist system and the bankruptcy of the neoliberal policies. The people’s
war in India and the Philippines see great potential for revolutionary
advancements in the face of the intensification of the exploitation and
oppression of peoples in both capitalist and semi-colonial and semifeudal
countries.
The
CPP acclaim the CPI-M and all revolutionary forces in India for persevering
along the road of people’s war. The people’s of the world anticipate the growth
and great advance of the people’s war in India as the people of India continue
to rise up and revolt against the oppression and exploitation of the ruling
classes and the imperialists. The peoples of the world see the epic dimensions
and potentials of the people’s war in India to change the face of the earth in a
big way, in much the same way that the victory of the revolution in China and
Russia altered the international balance of the class struggle.
The
Filipino people look forward to the complete victory of the Indian revolution
even as they seek to achieve victory in their own homeland. The Filipino and
Indian people are serving the interests of the proletariat and peoples around
the world by waging people’s wars in their homelands and dealing armed blows
against the imperialist and their reactionary lackeys. Their advances and
victories will indubitably inspire all other peoples of the world to stand up
against the imperialists and wage revolution to achieve national and social
liberation.
