Malkangiri District, July 23, 2024: In a solemn tribute to the unwavering dedication and sacrifice of it’s brave comrades, the Communist Party of India (Maoist) has declared to observe Martyrs’ Week from July 28 to August 3 of this year.

The CPI (Maoist) observes Martyrs’ Week every year in memory of those who have laid down their lives in the pursuit of the cause of revolution in India.

In a press release, the party’s Andhra-Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC) secretary, Comrade Ganesh, said that the Maoist party’s Martyrs’ Week would be observed to honor the sacrifices of the comrades who have laid down their lives for the revolution. Comrade Ganesh said that the party would organize various programmes and events during the week to pay tribute to the party’s martyrs.

“In the last 6 months, 140 comrades have been martyred in Chhattisgarh alone. The Chhattisgarh government has launched a massive operation called Operation Kagar to suppress the Maoists, which the party has termed as a conspiracy to loot the wealth and resources of the dalits and tribals. The central and state governments are trying to eliminate our party, but it’s impossible. The central government has announced Operation Kagar to eradicate Maoism from the country within the next 3 years. In this war of destruction, the police are the main enemy, who are torturing people, molesting them, and killing them without any reason,” maintained Comrade Ganesh.

Comrade Ganesh condemned the government’s Operation Kagar, which he said was aimed at eliminating the Maoists. He alleged that the government was trying to crush the movement by killing innocent people and branding them as Maoists.

Comrade Ganesh also accused the government of trying to loot the resources of the tribals and poor people. He said that the Maoists would continue to fight against the government’s policies and protect the interests of the people.

Comrade Ganesh appealed to the people to participate in the Martyrs’ Week observance and make it a success. He said that the Maoist party would not be intimidated by the government’s repressive measures and would continue to fight for the rights of the people.

The CPI (Maoist)’s Martyrs’ Week observance is being held to commemorate the death anniversary of Comrade Charu Mazumdar, general secretary of the erstwhile CPI (ML), who was killed in police custody in 1972.
