The outlawed Communist Party of India (Maoist) has claimed
responsibility for the killing of seven Central Reserve Police Force
personnel in an IED explosion in the Dantewada district of Bastar last
month. “The Malewara attack on the CRPF was a fitting reply to the
exploitative Modi-Raman Singh regime and revenge for our party’s
martyrs. The attack was a part of our PLGA’s (People’s Liberation
Guerrilla Army) response to the government of Chhattisgarh’s mission
2016 against us,” said a statement issued by the south sub zonal bureau
of the CPI (Maoist).
“The Chhattisgarh government has been running a campaign called
‘Mission 2016’ to flush out Maoists from Bastar. In the name of this
mission, the security forces are indulging in attacks on the villages of
Bastar. Local civilians are being harassed and are being branded as
‘warrantee Maoists’.
“People of Bastar are being stashed in jails under fraud cases. In
the name of encounter killings, local tribals are being killed in cold
blood. Since January this year, more than 50 local civilians of Bastar
and our party cadres have been killed in fake encounters,” alleged the
banned outfit.
