INDIA: 17 dead at Fakenencounter in 2012


The Indian government had to admit the murder of 17 villagers in 2012, this week.
17 Adivasi, including six children, were shot dead by forces of the Central Reserve Police and Chhattisgarh's Federal Police in the village of Sarkeguda, in Chhattisgarh, In June 2012. The incident was portrayed by official authorities as an action against the Communist Party of India (Maoist) and the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army.
Already at that time members of those killed vehemently denied this version and explained that the murdered had nothing to do with the CPI (Maoist) or the PLGA. They were only at a village meeting when the police arrived and opened fire without warning. Several policemen were also injured in the hail, as it turned out by Friendly-Fire.

Due to popular pressure and human rights organizations, the BJP government has been forced to investigate a committee of inquiry. This came in its final report, which was published on Monday, to the same result as the non-governmental organizations that had previously adopted the incident. The killed were not Maoists and they did not shoot, it was a fake counter.
Fake encounters are a much used mean of Indian reaction in the fight against the People's War. Most farmers are murdered and then put in uniforms of the PLGA. Thus, the state wants to show on the one hand successes in the so-called "anti-terrorist struggle", but above all intensify the terror against the people and the people's war. Since the beginning of the People's War, more than 1,000 people have been murdered in fake encounters by the Indian state.
But even if the Indian state tries to drown the revolution in the blood it will not succeed. The blood will only water the struggle.
