"This
massacre is being hailed as a big success of the Indian State’s
military might and a mockery is being made of genuine calls of the
citizens and the CPI (Maoist) to declare a ceasefire and initiate peace
talks. We term the killing of Basavaraj and his companions in Abujhmad
forest a massacre carried out under an extermination campaign because
they were encircled and killed, when there is a call for peace."
FACAM
has called for protests and public demonstrations to hold the
government accountable, demanding an independent inquiry into the
operation and a declaration of ceasefire for peace talks.
The
Chhattisgarh government has yet to respond to demands for an
independent investigation into the operation. Meanwhile, security forces
continue search operations in the region to locate any remaining Maoist
cadres.
